Normally I'd have no problem with waiting, but I'm going back home to the Philippines in April for the first time in nearly a decade and I want to have a decent camera with me. My d700 is too heavy and too expensive (between it and my 28-70 walkaround Nikkor, that's already $4,000 worth of gear) that I'd feel a lot better leaving it at home. But I don't think my LX3 will be enough to satisfy my needs.

They are (my sister has a G10), but I'm specifically looking for a small stylish camera with an interchangeable lens system. I currently pack a Lumix LX3 and as far as walkarounds go, it's amazing. f/2.0 at 24mm and RAW shooting, all in a camera that can fit in my coat pocket? Yes please.
I'd only ever really leave it for a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (maybe I'll start calling them MILCs).

True, but I want something small and pocketable. If I were looking at chunky bridge-sized cameras I'd just as soon buy a used d60
