I've looked at both several times at the local Jessops and read all I can find online.
I'll be buying one or the other next weekend but I just cannot decide.
So if anyone has any strong pro or anti opinions on either, please speak as you might well highlight an issue that proves to be the decider.
I generally like Olympus cameras more than most, but the LX5 shape, the grip and control layout, appeals more.
Just for some background, I had a Lumix GF1 with standard kit zoom but never thought it that good - fine out on bright sunny day but I think the slow zoom let it down in less bright conditions. I ended up selling it.
I realise that good low light shots using a slowish zoom means an SLR with their larger sensor, but I don't want something I simply won't carry around.
The fast lenses (over the the whole zoom range), pocketability, and manual controls are the attraction of the top-end compacts.
Help!
