Ray, I had you down for this one a couple weeks ago.
Luke, sorry to disappoint, but I don't see myself doing it. For the reasons I had before the announcement, which I fully admit spun me around a bit. Because it's a VERY impressive camera and probably everything I'd ever want in a camera LIKE this. But I just don't see a place for a camera LIKE this in my shooting. I've got 28 and 35mm compacts that are better than the LX100 in basically every way except zoom. But the zoom range on the LX100 really only gives me a 24mm that I'd actually use. The area between 35 and 85 or 90 is just something I never use. If I had this camera, I'd probably squeeze a few semi-portraits out of the 75mm end, but I'd be frustrated with the lack of length. I just don't see it adding much unless it was REPLACING the Nikon A and/or the RX1 and neither of those are gonna happen. So, to the extent I'd ever add a camera like this, it's gonna have to have something significantly better at the portrait end so that when I decide to leave the DSLR at home, the only thing I give up are the super wide and the super long. The Canon G1X mkII would be a better fit (with it's 24-120 range, but I really don't think I'd be particularly happy with that sensor. Or an RX10 or FZ1000 which would be like a mini-DSLR with a ton of range. But at that point, I'd probably just bring the DSLR, so not much point there.
Bottom line, I'll probably wait a while and see if Nikon or Olympus come to the table with something good with a bit wider zoom range. Based on past cameras, I'd say Nikon would be more likely to come up with something with more range, so if they do so with a 1" or better sensor, I'll check it out. If not, I MAY decide to get a G1X mkII, but I'll more likely just sit tight and stay out of this segment, as I have for quite a while now. I should have some interest in the new Canon G7X, since it at least takes it out to 100mm at f2.8 with the 1" sensor. But that's back into RX100 territory - I don't think I'd enjoy using the camera. But that has a range I'd find somewhat useful and a really good little sensor, so maybe I'll have a closer look at that one.
I really don't have much desire for a camera like this unless I liked it enough to leave everything else at home from time to time. I'm thinking of a weekend away with my wife where I don't want to haul much gear. A better version of the GX1 mkII would do that really well, including enough portrait and macro capability to handle a bit of everything. So if someone does something with that range REALLY well, I may go for it. If not, I'm good where I am.
But I am REALLY impressed with the LX100 and I WISH it met more of my needs because I'd love to have a good reason to buy one. But I just can't come up with it at 24-75....
