FX-7-8-9-01 were all within ~6months of each other, which these days, is completely normal for the digital camera industry. It's absolutely required to remain on top. THe FX7 was famed for being slim, but within 6 months, it was superceded by other cameras. Thus, FX8 was released, for amazing battery life. FX9 was then released for a super high resolution LCD. And now, the FX01, is the slimmest 28mm camera on the market (whihc I bought, since 28mm is amazing!

).
The DMC-L1 isn't really for most of us, its for professionals, and for some reason, I don't think Ayu will be in a commercial for that. It isn't something where I can watch TV, see a commercial, and buy. Panasonic won't make too much money from the L1 initially since they are trying to beat out competitors in the dSLR market (Canon's EOS 350D, Sony Alpha 100), so I'm sure they'' find other ways to market it.
Who knows, I could be REALLY wrong, we'll find out in 3 days
I'm sure we can expect a new Panasonic commercial Aug/Sept, since the FX02 should be released 6 months after the FX01 was released
