"Perfect for me"
What I like:
Big screen, plenty of easy to find options
What I don't like:
Lens cover is a pain and a view finder would have been nice
Review:
I've had my D-Lux 3 for just over a year and seem to enjoy using it more and more. Took loads of photos at several weddings last year, very pleased with results. Just come back from the West Indies and it handled the bright light and colours very well. The lens cover can be a bit of a pain, but have got used to it now. Not having a view finder, especially when its sunny, can be awkward but other than that I'm very pleased with my camera.

Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS
Ticks numerous boxes, but it's not especially cheap and not particularly exciting
Canon PowerShot S90
The S90 is the enthusiast's dream, offering compactness, great image quality and superb controls
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550
Disappointing. The hybrid touchscreen interface is lacklustre overall, and the lens isn't that good
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1
Very expensive, but, as soon as you pick it up, you know this camera is special
