Subject: [Leica] Leica C-Lux3 or Panasonic FX37?

Hi, Susan

The closest I have come is the Canon G10.  I keep it in the car all the
time.  It's only sin is too many mp (15), so it works best at native ISO
(80).   Secondly, I have a Canon Power Shot 1000 which will indeed fit in a
shirt pocket and will get an image (no raw).  Hope this helps.

Ken
