I've played around with the G9. Overall, they're great digicams. One thing that bothered me was the very slowshot-to-shot times in raw mode.


If the price difference between G9 and G10 is only $100, I suggest buying the G10. It has a much wider lens (28mm vs 35mm) and many other improvements.


The LX3 is the same price as the G10, but it has some features I prefer more. The lens is an ultra wide zoom (24mm) instead of a wide zoom (28mm). It's also one whole stop faster (f/2 instead of f/2.8). And the shot-to-shot speed in raw is up to 2.3 FPS, which is very fast for a digicam.
