Looks interesting. They certainly put a really nice lens on it.

I have the Panasonic Lx5 + Nauticam housing and it is a very good camera for underwater use.
The new Lx7 have a faster lens (F 1,4-2,3), a video capability in full HD and a better Lcd screen.
I hope that Nauticam will create a housing for this new Lx7

I keep hoping (in vain no doubt) that Panasonic will "snap out of it" and make a nice, less expensive housing, like Olympus did. Not gonna hold my breath though

Nauticam announced the NA-LX7 housing for the new Panasonic Lx7 Nauticam USA - Innovation Underwater - Nauticam USA News - Announcing Housing for Panasonic LX7
Unfortunately the price of this housing is too high for my wallet (890 €, here in Italy)
It seems that the new Pana Lx7 works very well, especially in macro mode Panasonic LX7 review | Cameralabs

Does anyone have any underwater experience about this new LX7+Nauticam combo yet? Are there any other housings available? only ones I've seen so far is from Nauticam.

Very positive reviews for topside use but not yet any underwater results... I'm considering this LX7 or Sony RX-100 for my next setup

You and me both - but housing cost may end up being the deal-breaker.
