The cognescenti know what to look for in the specs. What do you say about an advanced camera to the P&S group looking to update? I recently bought my sister a used Lumix LX3 as a gift. She had taken up scrapbooking and I could see a more serious compact, i.e., a bigger sensor and a much nicer Leica lens, would serve her better than her then current P&S. I asked her how she was doing with it, and she said "I really like it. My pictures look a lot better, especially the indoor ones." What higher praise for a camera? Of course, now she's thinking a bit more about her photography and what the settings mean, all because this is a "better" camera and she's willing to invest the time to use it right. The classic self-fulfiling prophecy
