Continues the recent trend for ridiculously overpriced cameras (RX100, X30, G7X, etc.) bearing out Thom Hogan's point: "Put simply: if the camera makers are going to sell fewer things, they want to sell you more expensive things."

1. It's not a Fuji
2. It's not a Fuji
3. It's not a Ricoh either
I know 1 and 2 are the same, but it is pretty fundamental. I have had Panasonic (and "PanaLeica") digitals in the past and won't be going back there. With the exception of the late lamented LC-1/Digilux 2 with it's phenomenal glass I find them all very "clever", but wanting in one way or another. The jpg algorithms are aggressive, necessitating raw processing for all but the least critical work and the handling is - fiddly - to say the least. Plus it's micro four thirds and I do like my bokeh...
...Maybe I need to save up and but a Leica T.
I'm genuinely ever so slightly disappointed...
-no built in flash - I rarely use it but it really is very useful for fill flash sometimes, and I simply don't see myself using that add-on thingy
-no tilting screen
-no weather sealing (wasn't in the rumours but I was still dreaming)
-no ND filter
These are the things stopping me from pre-ordering one today - that and the fact that I don't have the money
Still, if I were looking for an all-in-one camera for everyday carry, this would probably be it, although the Canon G1X and G7X would get a serious look as well.

And the lack of on board flash is even worse. I'd buy the LX100 for ultimate simplicity. Having a separate flash unit to worry about kind of kills that.

Another possible negative -- rocker switch zoom. I prefer manual zoom rings, but no dice here. I hope the focus ring is a multi-function ring, and can be assigned to zoom instead of focus.
Issue, though, is no place to put the flash, unless you leave out the hotshoe. I would like the included flash to be able to tilt up
