Point & Shoot?...

Hi gang,

I've spent the day researching point and shoot cameras as i want something a little smaller than my 5dii to carry around for social occasions (nights out on the town etc).

There are so many options out there it makes my head hurt but i've been looking at the following:
Fuji x100
Ricoh GR digital IV
Canon S100

What do you guys use when you can't be bothered lugging around your DSLR's?

cheers,
Scott

Panasonic GF2. The advantage of micro 4/3 is that the system is more mature (better glass available). I only have the panasonic 20mm pancake (my go-to lens), I also sometimes use my Canon glass with an adapter.

RC:
S100 (which replaced my S80).  The S100 has everything I was looking for in a P&S--glad to get raw back since it was pulled from the S80.  24-120 (FF), ideal for a P&S.   F2 at 24mm, nice.  Love the GPS.  Nice layout and handy ring control.  Only gripe, wish there was a setting to prevent the flash from popping up automatically. 

Chose Canon since I already knew the language--same menu layouts, terminology, etc.

Almost went with The G1X but reminded myself if I can't put it in my pocket I my as well have my dSLR.

KKCFamilyman:
I am in the same boat. I have a 5d3 and need something more portable. I like the s100 but the IQ keeps drawing me to the g1x even though its not pocketable it's still small and can attach to your belt with a much smaller case. I also considered the Sony Nex 5 with the pancake lens since they have great IQ also. I am stuck because I do not want to sacrifice too much IQ especially if your getting raw data. I am worried the s100 will disappoint when used to a DSLR. Just my 2 Cents.
