i know a little bit about cameras i used to have a nice SIGMA DSLR few years back but i'm not photographer. dpreview is a great site thats were i saw the Panasonic LX3 which seems to have gotten loads of traffic and pretty good reviews.

if you guys run across anything or hear of a nice point and shoot let me know model so i can go check it out. luckily i have a few weeks till xmas
