I think you misunderstand my purpose. The P&S isn't meant to be a 
substitute for the Nikons, but a supplement. My "art" thrives on zoom 
lenses (my favourite: the 70-300  VR). But it isn't possible to carry 
a Nikon around at all times - to get those images for "I wish I had a 
camera with me" moments. Therefore, I'm looking for a small high 
performance point-and-shoot. I've heard and read high praise for the 
Lumix FX37 and the C-Lux 3. But I've also heard/read that there is no 
difference between the two cameras except price. I was wondering 
whether Leica afficianados have a different take.
