Wow, been wondering about the next version as I have been shooting the Lecia version of the LX3. Looks as though there have been a few changes to body but with the exception of the physical height I wonder how hard a retro fitting will be modulo a new rear panel.
Here is Panasonic's listing:

They mention two things. The joystick has been changed to controls like the GF1. The hand grip has been enlarged.
So I have my doubts about backwards compatibility.
Sounds like camera that might be easier to make a housing for, and better for shooting UW.

I assume Panasonic does not make OEM housings and the cheapest housing for this will be +600 dollars?
Compared to Canon S95 which will have OEM housing for less than 200 dollars.
I have G9 and I like taking macro pics is LX5 worse in that sense?
