Or you could buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 which is identical to the D-Lux 3; the D-lux 4 will likely be the Panasonic LX3. The Panasonic FX100 is the C-Lux 3. They are identical, you are paying twice the price for the red badge.
Also, the $5k+ Leica M8 is severely flawed at the moment and has a lot of noise. The CCD sensor is far outdated- a cheaper Rebel can take vastly better pictures (you can even mount Leica lenses to EF mount with an adapter). They should have upgraded the first sensor instead of putting stupid sapphire on the LCD screen.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Yikes, the M8.2 is really expensive. I've heard good things about the less expensive dlux 3d.
