I'm looking for a decent point and shoot for when I have to travel light.
So far my list has been reduced to Canon G10 (due soon) or Panasonic LX3 or Nikon P6000 (due soon).
Any thoughts?

The G1 is an interesting idea, but I can see over time it won't allow me the same freedom as I'll end up expanding the options to what I already have in a Nikon, so may as well look for a do all lens and use my existing camera, or my older D50.
I've been contemplating the G9, as I've always been impressed with Canon P&Ss, but now the G10 is out I'm very interested.
The LX3 looks stunning, if only from an aesthetic point of view. The F2.0 lens is extremely tempting, but the zoom range is a little off putting. And a viewfinder for another $200!!!!
The P6000 looks like a great package, and even though I use a Nikon as a DSLR I've never been impressed with Nikon P&Ss, either aesthetically or the results.

Just saw some pictures made with the G10 and they were *horrible*. I can only hope it was user error. I'd suggest anyone looking at this camera to wait for more images produced by the average Joe to see what it's worth.
The lx3 is a bit smaller, but the total volume is not so much different than the G10 as it's lens sticks out quite a bit. I also don't like the idea of having to switch from 'shoot' to 'play' mode to review my pictures. That is a big blow in my opinion.

I think that's the point - you can't do one then switch to the other without thinking about it. If a naked woman steps in front of you while you are reviewing your other pictures, do you want to have to think about switching modes to get a shot or just be able to get a shot
