Olympus XZ-2 for $299, worth the money if I already have an LX7?

[Lionel Tang]

Two years ago I got myself an LX7 as I wanted a prosumer compact. I was, and still am, not ready to deal with lenses when traveling. Just want to point and shoot yet get great pictures.

Now the XZ-2 from Olympus is going on a great offer http://amzn.to/1ffMoom. Just wondering if it is justified to make a switch over from the LX7 to this camera? The sensor should be better than what I have now, right?

Comparison with a ZX1 followed by a review on the ZX2.

From the above $299 is not justified.
