Just a little update about interesting rumors form direct competitors.
1) The Panasonic LX3 competitor:
The Samsung TL500 has a 1/1.8 CMOS sensorm f/1.8 lens that starts at 24mm.

2) The MicroFourThirds competition:
Samsung is ready to launch five more new lenses for the NX system (via k-rumors.com)
SonyAlphaRumors will make a live coverage of the Sony announcements on Sunday (New Sony mirrorless cameras are expected to be shown)
And once let me say again that I am surprised to not see any interesting stuff coming from Nikon and Canon (but Canon has a press conference on FEB 23).
