I ended up with a Panasonic LX5 - check it out. Leica lens, f2.0, HD video, and other nifty stuff. It's not as compact as an S90/S95 but it's not bad. If I had more $$$ to spend on gadgets rather than adventures I'd have gone an E-P2 with the kit 14-42 and the fast Panasonic pancake...

I can't recommend the LX3 enough, fantastic for low light photos and when I don't want to carry my 7D and lenses. Great photo and food blogs!

I almost went with the Olympus e-pl1 but am glad I went with the LX3 due to the smaller size while still allowing access to manual controls. I second the recommendations for the Panasonic Lumix LX3.

With a pancake lens its just about pocketable, if you have large pockets! The folks at dpreview.com said 'once you attach the wonderful 20mm F1.7 pancake it becomes something special; an unobtrusive creative tool that you can carry anywhere, and one that's capable of superb photographic results'. I have the G1, which is a little heavier, but the pictures are great.
