My wife like the G1 that we have.  Her complains are:
a) The kit lens is too slow indoor, the result is not much better than P&S
b) We tried the 20mm.  It is nice, but she can't zoom with it  :)
c) M-lens is not usable for her, of course
d) She does not use the view finder, so without one may be easier and more
pocketable

So now I am looking between LX3, and S90.  They pretty much similar but the
LX3 has better video.

Thank you very much for your report and though on this.
