Fx9 and Lx1 from panny also. Almost ashamed to say that because im a Nikon man through and through. I love Nikons P1, wifi... dang, but i think the panny screen quality and image stabiliser do it for me. Both provide sharp images but a little noisy, this wont make any difference at all on a regular size print though. Take a look at one in a shop, the black ones are sexy!
Its pretty important that whichever compact camera you choose that it feels ok in your hands, if your not comfortable with it you will get hand shake and then never sharp images (Pannys O.I.S will help cut this out and Nikons will at least tell you all your photos are blurred!)
Nothing worse that being frustrated every time you want to use your camera!

Olympus Camedia C8080WZ is quite nice, but a bit bulky.
