Pick up one of those little hot shoe covers. Most new cameras come with them
they cut down on the chances of catching/hooking a bit but not entirely.

Less than 1/10th the size of a native WAV file and most versions of the MS

The first sound is similar to my original LX, the LX i currently have sounds

Welcome back Mike!
When I got my LX last year I immediately removed the grib-B as an unsightly,
eyesore. I played with the camera for a bit and decided to put the grip on
so I wouldn't lose it. More playing. I now can't live without it! It makes
handling the camera quick and comfortable.

So far non of the failures have prevented it from working in regular,
daylight shooting. But I would never take out the LX without a backup body.
