Nothing beats little Lumix.

I have little Lumix P&S for years. It was so small, I kept on loosing it and finally it disappeared without return. By the time it happened it has plenty of use from me and kids. Battery, memory card door failed, lens was not easelly retracting from time to time. I replaced it with more modern Canon tiny P&S, but it is nowhere near to the image quality of little Lumix.
So, I purchased another little Lumix. Those are from 2007-2012 models. Small, x5 2.8 OS Leica lens in them and CCD sensor. They give best BW SOOC I ever seen. Color images are nice and sharp enough for P&S at low ISO. Not like Canon P&S where image is only sharp if it is close and with flash.
Putty, Panasonic seems to drop this line for bigger and expensive cameras...
Cheers, Ko.

I'm hearing ya. I've hidden my little LX7 from myself somewhere, & it's been annoying the cr@p out of me for the last couple of months. I don't use it a crazy amount, but miss it when I want it. The 24-90 equivalent is a great, general purpose focal length, especially the 24mm wide end. f/1.4 combined with excellent IS helps a lot too.

He he he he. Look what I just found 10 minutes ago Had slipped down the back of the sofa. Been systematically searching the house room by room the last few weeks, my baby's back
