I have a 5 megapixel Panasonic with a nice Leitz lens. I don't recall
the model number. I only use it when I don't want to be burdened with
a camera of any kind. It's okay. I've used it once or twice to get a
shot I needed for a magazine article, because I happened to have it on
hand when an opportunity arose. I don't think I'd want more than 5
megapixels on a point and shoot sized sensor.

Good control layout and much more pocketable than any 4/3rds camera

can see the attraction of the G10/G11.
I don't know ... I don't carry cameras in my pocket, the G9/G10/G11
are too heavy for that too. The controls are ok, a bit fussy. Finish
is nice.
My friend Jim had his G10 with him today and it felt nice but wow,
there are a lot of buttons, dials and such. Both he and another friend
have them and complain they don't focus particularly accurately.
I had the Panny LX1 ... it's the only digital compact I've owned that
had a truly stunning lens and produced superb results. Photos from it
were juried into three or four exhibitions, one took some award. I bet
the LX3/D-Lux 4 are very good.
But overall these compacts are just too limiting for my interest with
their low sensitivity and clumsy control layouts. I wish there was one
that had the simple, elegant, easy to use controls of the Rollei 35S.
