If sensor size is important, many have larger ones than the G10. The 
DMC G1 certainly provides better image quality than the G10 under any 
conditions, and the Fuji F200EX also does better (I have the G10 and 
tried out the F200EX in some quick tests). The G10 is not bad 
considering the sensor size and 15mp, but it's not at the top of the 
heap under lower lighting conditions. It probabably has somonee of 
the highest pixel densities among the better P&S cameras.
