CNET Review
The Good: Sharp, bright lens; compact but comfortable design; broad manual shooting feature set.
The Bad: Relatively nonresponsive Quick Menu button; proprietary connectors; artifacts under certain conditions; optical viewfinder is optional.
The Bottom Line: Although the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 has its share of passionate fans, we think the JPEG quality should be more consistent for the price.

Review Summary: I don't know where to go with this. Every other review I read tells me that the LX3 is superior in most aspects to the Canon G10. It's smaller and lighter (265g vs the chunky 390g G10), shoots wider (24mm vs 28), and has a faster lens (f2.0 vs f2.8).
