Canon s series are excellent. Im bored of them though as sad as that is. HX9 is looking goog. Stand by the hs220 too though!

I'm out of the loop, but if she liked that just get a similar Panasonic. Leica's are pretty much made by panasonic with a Leica label on shell. They function quite the same from what I gather.

Idealist, I love my Leica. I also have a Nikon D60 that is now collecting dust because the Leica outperforms the Nikon and is easy to carry. I'm not sure what you're shooting but seems pretty dynamic to me. The GX1 looks pretty nice but can't compare.

Ditto. The Panasonic LX5 is the exact same camera. Without the name and being 500 cheaper. http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-…

I've been reading this after deciding to get us a new point and shoot before we go to Iceland instead of a new 70-300mm lens for my D90. My fiancé needs a new camera, and debating between the Nikon and Panasonic in this review. I have a Lumix from 2006, but only 4MP and we are ready for an upgrade.

whatever camera that doesn't drive her crazy is good...

I have a canon ixus for point and shoot, the body's not particularly pretty, but works great in low light (backlit sensor or summin) and takes macro shots from about two inches away!

I am looking for one as well - a smaller substitute for my Nikon D40.
I was thinking about Canon IXUS 220HS:

thanks...I'll look at the Panasonic LX5. Before I got my camera I researched it pretty extensively and there were some key differences between the Leica and Panasonic in reviews I read...which is why I sprung for the extra bucks. I love that camera. I'd still rather pay less than $400. I tried to give her my Nikon D60 (a fine camera) but she turned her nose up at it because it's too big. Kids today.
- wha?! she'd be getting nothing from me after that.johnny_wobble
