G2 proves itself

Aperture Value f/1.8 Focal Length 45 mm
ISO 500 Shutter Speed Value 1/100 sec

I don’t think that LX3 would have fared as well in this case. Instead of 90mm-e at f1.8, I would have had 60mm-e at 2.8. As a result, I would have ended up with ISO1000-1250 for the same shutter speed, and with the relatively tiny sensor, the grain that’s noticeable in the G2 photos would have become too prominent.

G2’s protected viewfinder and articulated LCD are also a major advantage. LX3 wins in close-up capability and size, G2 in convenience of use, image quality and battery life. 24-60-e zoom may be great, but fast 40-e and 90-e lenses cover my needs much better. G2 and the 20/1.7 still fit in a coat pocket.
