Cool. I don't expect the 60 to be nearly as good as the LX1--maybe one third as good, given the price :)
Now that's wry... :-)
Did you do any street shooting with it? Is it fast enough?
Quite a bit of streety stuff. As long as the light's good, it's a pretty rapid performer, even writes its RAW files very quickly (2.5 seconds) despite not having any write buffering. It has a couple of interesting high-speed focus modes too, which I haven't used yet. The most difficult part is learning how to frame and shoot with a camera that has only an LCD viewfinder.
Once light levels drop, though, it needs a small tripod to really hold it still and cannot capture moving subjects without acceptance of a bit of noise. ISO 200 is pretty clean if you save in RAW, ISO 400 starts can be a bit difficult.
