    georgeslll you handsome son of a gun!

    i weighed up the choice between an LX3 and s90 before i decided on my GF1. Main factors i found were -

    LX3
    +wide angle lens
    -2.5x optical zoom (in practice this isnt much zoom at all)

    s90
    +3.8x optical zoom
    +better at high iso than LX3 (not by much but enough)

    Also, having put the LX3 next to the s90 the wide angle is good, its nice but you can literally take 2 steps back with the s90 and then crop the image and you have the same FOV (i understand the perspective isn't identical, but its not too different). Or simple take 2 shots and stitch them.

    There are many LX3 vs s90 tests so have a read.

    I personally would buy a Canon G11, only a bit bigger and you have more manual control, a 5x zoom lens, which is also great for macro.

    Good luck!
