Well the reason for this purchase was to replace my brilliant little Lumix TZ6. As i do a lot of roaming about in dark dingy locations (haunted location!) i wanted a camera that would be good in low light and with Manual control. The TZ6 is wonderful in good light but pretty pants when it comes to low light situations so a replacement was needed. I finally decided on the Canon G11, S90, Lumix LX3 and the Leica Dlux-4

G11- Have handled one before and was not that impressed but would do well for my needs and i love the manual dials on the top of the camera.

LX3 - Really wonderful camera and a finalist. Lots of superb image examples about the net and i do like the Lumix family.

Dlux-4 - Almost exactly the same as the LX3 but £200 more...i must be mad to spend that on a red dot! (although i had in the past and it had to be returned due to dead pixels)

S90 - Has the same sensor and software as the G11 but in a prettier, smaller body. Images are superb and has fantastic ISO range (80-3200) and low light capabilities. Lots of great images and great reviews about!

So i plumbed for the S90 as the TZ6 replacement. Will be with me Tuesday so i'll do a full report when i have had a play.
 
Although the GF1 is small it's still too big to pop in my pocket and on a lot of occasions i don't want to risk damaging my baby! The s90 will be a camera to have in the car, take to places i don't want to take the GF1 to etc.
 
Great little cam for the pocket Andy, enjoy your new toy, I just got a new toy too so I'm buzzing with you man.
