"The other place for growth is to sell something to everyone you've already sold something to. That's what my Compact Challenge was all about: every serious shooter I know--not some, but EVERY--is looking around for their Everywhere Camera and not quite finding it. We try new compacts like the P6000, G10, and LX3 when they come out and pick the one that comes the closest to what we want (another Nikon problem, it isn't the P6000). But we're not happy. We're still shopping. We looked at the DP-1 (and DP-2) and passed. We're looking at the E-P1 now and finding something that looks like it might pass muster."

I'm not that serious about photography anymore. But I have found an everywhere camera that I am very happy with. It's the Panasonic FX150.

It is the smallest camera you can buy with RAW, which many serious photographers use. You can adjust the sharpness, saturation, noise reduction, and contrast. It has manual aperture and shutter controls. These are primitive, but they work.
The camera is not all that expensive, and well worth a look if you really value small size.
I don't know this model, but their LX-3 is very popular and respected. One of the most respected small-sensor cameras.
