Just don't look through the EVF on the new Sonys (a65/a77/NEX-7/accessory for NEX-5n). You won't want to buy the panny one after that. Problem is the add-on Sony is like $300 just for the EVF.
LX5 is a really good camera, mostly due to the fast glass (especially for a p&s). Having f2 @ 24mm with OIS is damn useful in low light situations. fwiw I'm not crazy about super zooms in general and with a p&s in particular as you lose a fair amount of image quality trying to shove that much zoom into a really short distance. I think that 24-90 and 28-105 are a good "sweet spot" for a small camera. Both the LX5 and S95 are f2 at the wide end.
