Subject: [Leica] Alternative to Digi2: G5 or C5060?

OK, the Canon G5 and Olympus 5060 have been mentioned here recently as having merit. Any consensus 
about which is better, if at all? The G5 has a 1-stop faster lens, which might make it easier to put 
backgrounds out of focus, repeat 'might.' Anything the 5060 has that the G5 doesn't?

 From what I can read, the G5 only outputs in JPEG, whereas the 5060 apparently will do TIFF and RAW 
as well, eliminating compression artifacts. But when I handled a G5 at a store I thought, repeat 
'thought' I was able to get a TIFF choice in the menu. Anyone confirm that?
