But since we are talking heresy and blasphemy on the LUG anyway, my suggestion is the Contax T3. The best P&S ever made (to date), though I haven't heard a thing about the Leica CM yet. By the way, if you are a left-eyed shooter (like I am), your forehead will turn off the Leica CL meter every single time you try to shoot it. That was enough to make me part with mine (I used it for a while with a VC meter in the shoe...it's a nice little camera).

I went through this a few times over the past few years. I now carry a contax T with me at all times. I love it. A mini M7 with a 38mm lens. (great all around focal length).
