I wasn't trying to diss anyone else's camera or shooting style - just noting what works for me. And why, for now at least, the articulating LCD doesn't seem as important a feature as I used to think it was - again, only for me. Nonetheless, once someone comes out with something as compact and quick-reacting as an LX5 that ALSO has an articulating screen, I may try it. Certainly no downside to it! I don't know how fast the NEX 3 or 5 reaction times are, but if they're quick enough and if they ever come out with a prime lens in the 35-40mm equivalent range, I might be persuaded to give one a try. Maybe. Depends on stuff like how easy it is to set up for hyperfocal shooting too. I'm really blown away by all of the ways the LX-5 is a great street shooting camera. Its gonna take a lot to make me switch. I still prefer my m43 stuff for some things, but I'm amazed with how good and versatile the LX5 is for an awful lot of what I like to do with a camera. And I'm not an IQ junkie, so except for very low light and nice bokeh, the LX-5 IQ is more than fine for what I like to do. In fact, I was thinking about it relative to the Nikon film camera I used to shoot with, often with a 28-85 Tamron zoom. And I can't think of a single way the LX-5 isn't a better and more useful camera. Except that I can't take off the zoom and stick something like a 50mm f1.4 on it. But that's what my other camera is for! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" />-Ray</blockquote>
