We should also keep in mind that the SLRs are developping more and more. Compare the LX to an actual entry-level MZ-60.
Sure. The MZ-60 has a plastic lens mount, a dim & small viewfinder and uses a focusing method that sometimes works. Nearly. It also comes with these fantastic lenses, matched in price, which zoom in an impressive range, giving you similar quality to a pocket p&s.
To put it other words. I see absolutely no reason to buy a contemporary "entry-level" SLR instead of a competent P&S.
Some 10 years ago, p&s were jokes and entry level SLRs decent cameras. Now its the other way round.
