I think it is important to note that the image stabilization that is mentioned in the summery is on that specific Lecia lens that was announced with the L1. The actualy body of the camera has no stabilization (like the 5D does). Just so people don't get the wrong idea.
It is nice to see some changes being made on the dSLR front (like live view). And it is nice to see someone make a stabilized dSLR lens that isn't super-telephoto. Because I have the FZ30 (upgraded from the FZ10) and stabilization is something that once you try, you will never want to go back (nothing like taking clear pictures at 35mm at 1/4 of a second. Granted you would need to probably 3 or 4 pictures in a row to get one clear enough, but with digital that is hardly a problem. And 1/8 of a second is easily enough to get consistently sharp pictures).
I can see the digital camera world getting very interesting in the next couple years...
