Here are some more photographs from today, taken when I realized that the clouded day and the muted autumn colors fit together beautifully. It was such a good day to be walking outside, especially after the sickness which hit me three days ago.
The last photograph was included simply because it happens to be 66,666th photograph taken with the LX3. Go, LX3, go!

That 66.666 shot came out really well - in my eyes a wonderful contrast in forms and color.
And just being nosy: Did you keep all or most of your 66.666 images? Storage? Regret? My own 20.000+ files start to create problems now.
well, I have about 5,600 images stored at Flickr, and about 10,000 on the computer at home. (And I have a backup.) I'm keeping perhaps one image in five (or sometimes one in ten), others I discard straight away when reviewing them on the computer.
No regrets so far - and I wouldn't regret even if most of the images disappeared. There are always new to be made. (Of course, family photographs are another thing altogether.)
As always I am way behind your present. The problem is, that I can't really be part of any discussion, the interesting thing is, to read how you speculate about the EP-2, while I know that it must have disappointed you by now. I speculate: How will you have reacted? Will you have takeen the GF-1 anyway? Will you have kept the LX-3?
I'll see :)
Btw: I love #2.
And: I guess I come to your number of images with the D200 and the D300 COMBINED!!!
@Andreas: I'm still debating on cameras. I looked at the pocketable Canon S90, but it isn't much better than the LX3, and in some ways worse for my purposes.
GF-1 seems still to be the strongest choice, but I'm interested in having IS in the body. Maybe EP-3 or GF-2 will convince to make the leap...
I suppose Panasonic and Olympus have made their choices and that's it. When you already have made stabilized lenses, you probably don't go back, at least that's what we have learned from the DSLR market. It's curious why they did it in the first place, but they did and I fear they'll stick to it. Thus I suppose your hopes are with Olympus.
Hmm ... they are a camera company, have always been. Maybe they have a serious problem with software. Sigma certainly seems to have one, but I suppose all of them need to catch up to the new paradigm of "Computer with Attached Lens", or either they'll perish. I suppose your best bet is really an Olympus EP-3, but that won't happen before 2011.
