Right now, my camera of choice is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. It is compact, lightweight and shoots RAW images plus JPEG. I can carry it in my pocket when Shadoe and I are on walks, and operate the controls and take photos one handed (it has image stabilization). Most of the images (other than the gallery photos) were taken with this camera. I love it! I had the Canon 40D, but switched to this one. The 40D took beautiful photos (in spite of me), but it was too bulky to carry on our walks which is when I take most of my photos.
