I was going through some photos from 2013 and 2014 - eleven years ago, who would have thought - and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the LX7 that I used for a few years until the lens barrel went poof.
Here's a scene from Chinese New Year in 2014, with Melbourne's largest Chinese Dragon named Dai Loong in parade.

Melbourne has its own Docklands, which does in fact include a dock. Many moor their boats here, including this fine craft.

The now-closed Southern Star Wheel, which I referenced in a 2020 Pandemic photo in another thread, was still active in 2014. The Wheel closed during the pandemic and never really made much headway since then.

The LX7 was a fantastic pocket everyday camera, especially with the multi-aspect ratio sensor which turned the 24mm equivalent at 4:3 into about 22mm at 16:9. Mine lasted from 2013 to about 2018, when the lens barrel started to give out from the repeated extension and retraction, but racked up tens of thousands of images in its life. I could always rely on it to produce dramatic images, and also document my daily life.

If one appears locally, I'll buy another just so I can benefit from it again. But I'll be much more circumspect, rather than run it to pieces like the first one! The same happened with the Ricoh GRD III and GR, I used them so much and so regularly that they gave up the ghost in record time.
After the LX7 died, I bought a LX10, but despite the much better dynamic range, it hasn't grabbed me the same way at the LX7. My reticence to use it may also come from concern about running it to death. The LX10 might see use about ten times a year or less, compared with the LX7 which was used for hundreds of images almost every week.

Thanks to the f1.4 aperture, night shooting was a breeze. The LX7 had very similar dynamic range to my Canon 30D DSLR, which surprised me.
