FWIW, David Farkas indicates on his photokina blog that the differences between the DLux4 and the LX3 go far beyond the JPG rendering and physical design. He says the menu layout is different, and the RAW files are different. The justification offered for the latter bit is that the RAW file from the DLux4 is supported in CaptureOne v4 (which is bundled with the camera), whilst the Panasonic RAW is not. This is clearly an easy thing to verify, although it also just as clearly doesn't decisively prove that the RAW files are different (only that they contain reference to the camera model).
