As a Canon G11 owner I can't help but be biased but I've had some great shots out of it (I shoot RAW only on all my cameras) - it's my "Out with Dog" camera as I can shoot it with one hand very easily. An example of what it can do
Example of aimlessness . It was between that and the LX-3 as they both had easily selectable all-essential controls (and I got the G11 at a good s/h price!) - now the choice would probably be between the G12 and the LX-5!
