A friend has kindly lent me his Panasonic LX3 as I have been considering buying the LX5 for those times when I don't want to lug around my DSLR.
I love the ability to vary the layout and particular like this 16:9 but am not sure the quality is any better than my 5 mgp Canon Ixus which is, in fact, a lot smaller than the LX5.
