Canon vs Panasonic

[koratgirl]

Hi All

I am looking to buy a prosumer type compact camera and need a bit of advice. I normally shoot with a 60D, but I want to get a good compact for everyday use that is fairly easy to carry around yet offers creative control and the ability to shoot raw. I am not interested in a 4/3 type format and am happy with a fixed lens. I was looking at the Canon G1x and while the large sensor is attractive, from what I can tell it has some serious drawbacks (poor macro, slow response) so I have been considering the G12 or the Panasonic DMC-LX7 and find myself wondering which is the better choice. I admit to always being a very loyal Canon girl so to even consider another brand is a big step for me! Any advice about this type of camera would be appreciated.

What about the S100? It doesn't get more compact than that.

You may want to also look at the Fuji X10 or X100

Canon vs Panasonic? How is this even a contest? Of course Panasonic all the way!


S100 is a pretty decent camera for its size
