In the last couple of years I just haven't considered P&S cameras. Reason being the small sensor used,slow to focus, shutter lag and of course image quality. I still have a couple around the house but I rarely use them unless...either I'm going somewhere where I just can't take my other systems because they're not allowed or it's not appropriate for instance. One camera that has really surprised me though is the Panasonic LX5. I bought this because I can use the same EVF as on the m4/3 cameras I have. True enough, the EVF is not the best out there but I think it's good enough for my purposes. What I just cannot do is make pictures holding the camera at arms length. I just can't and that is final. If a camera doesn't have one I just won't buy it.
I just want to show a few images taken with the LX5 taken on a very windy and blustery day.
