John, two things in particular I find about my LX2. Firstly I am more likely to have it on me than and other camera I ever owned, I have to make a conscious effort to take my DSLR out so I understand why you want to complement your Canon.
Secondly, I shoot as much short burst video as I shoot stills, sadly the software is Apple Quicktime but thankfully I use a convertor to AVI and never have to use QT.
It's like any camera really, it's a tool and either fits in with the way you work or doesn't and I can understand all comments from those who choose for or against. When I use it for stills it's usually casual family shots plus shots of hobby items, eBay sales etc. I don't try to use it for the same things as my Olympus and I am glad I have it around. Much better than the Oly mju I used to keep for the casual stuff.
