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.
Thanks for the heads-up; I had no plan to look for anything but the Panasonic EVF and I suspect that I'll even wait to purchase one of those as this will be mostly used as a backup/go to quickly camera while backpacking/climbing.
