Well, it looks like it may be a while before I can post any good news about the GX100. The unit I got from Adorama frontfocuses horribly. At "infinity focus" it focuses two feet away. Set to snap focus, it does the same. Set to full auto, no difference. The fact that the camera had signs of use when it arrived (fingerprints on the LCD, scratches on the battery) makes me wonder whether someone else had the same problem with the autofocus and returned it before it got to me. I'm a little put off by this and will take a couple days to consider whether to send it for a refund or an exchange.
Addendum - I decided to go ahead and exchange it. Hopefully Adorama will have some stock and get me the replacement soon.
Addendum #2 - Sadly, Adorama is out of stock again. In the meantime, I have having a great time with a D-LUX 2 recently given to me by my father. It's nice to have RAW and a wide angle in my compact. I am looking into GX100 stock at PopFlash.
Addendum #3 - PopFlash has lots of stock, and I just ordered a GX100 kit from them. From what I have read in the DPR forums, PopFlash seems to have very content customers. I hope to be one of them soon =).
