Welcome to UHH Blackhawk, glad you joined us. When you make your final choice of brand and model do not overlook purchasing a refurbished one. ONY do so from a reputable firm such as Adorama, B&H or Cameta.
Have fun, learn and enjoy the forum.

You've all been so helpful! Hoping to get in the store today to get the economics point checked. Thank you for all the feed back!

With that kind of budget I might upgrade to a used Panasonic Lumix LX100 instead of the LX5 or LX7. The LX100 is a Micro Four Thirds fixed Leica zoom 24-75 (35mm equivalent) fast f1.7-f2.8 lens. The sensor is about four times greater area than the LX5-7 recommended earlier and also has both an LCD screen viewer plus an excellent electronic view finder built-in. The much larger sensor will result in a vastly superior image quality. On eBay the cost would be about $400 to $500 in excellent condition.

I actually have a budget around $500 and plan on having whatever I buy for years to come if that makes sense.
