The unfortunate incident involving USAir flight 1594 yesterday has made me realize I should never leave home without a camera. But, my SLR kit is a bit unweildy, so I am looking into a compact point-and-shoot. The Canon G10 is a bit out of my price range, but I've seen some G9s that I can afford. For the kind of things I need a point-and-shoot for, wide zoom is probably more important than telephoto zoom. And of course, I'd like somewhat reasonable image quality, but I don't use high ISO even on my 40D.


Are there any other options you guys have been happy with besides the Canon G9/G10? I've heard good things about the Panasonic DMC-LX3, but it's the same price as the G10. Is it worth waiting to save more money for a G10?
