It's not an out-of-the-ordinary "distortion" that's a problem w/the LX3, it's that its simply wide angle. Any 24mm will distort people.

Portraits and people pictures benefit from being shot at something more like 50-70mm. That being said, many folks have purchased the LX3 for the f/2.0 lens, only to find out that it's 2.8 at a reasonable zoom (more at the portrait zoom). So, the advantage of the fast lens is lost somewhat.

A good question I suppose is -- what's the f/stop on the G10 at 60mm vs. the f/stop of the LX3 at 60mm (f/2.8 ).

My a650 (a cousin to the G9) is at f/4.0 (if I remember correctly) around 60mm, making the LX3 faster. Not sure about the G10.
