According to reviews, most of them said LX5 got slightly better in term of photo quality.

BUT ... S95 is more or actually, REAL compact which you able to put it into your pocket.
And for me, its atleast 200~300 ringgits cheaper than LX5   

Wanna add my 2cents onto this.

- There isn't really any real difference in image quality between the enthuasiast compact crowd. I mean.. the difference is sooooooooo small that one will have to scrutinize really deeply to see any minute difference even in a perfect scenario. In actual use, I would say its zero

- Interface wise, S95 better especially with the dual control ring and set button to bring up the quick menu. LX5 distinct tiny d-pad buttons are not so friendly for man-sized fingers.

- Size wise... its up to preference.

- Speed wise.. S95 faster to operate.

- LX5 advantage is its faster lens fully zoomed out and its wider 24mm end.

sniper on the roof,

Thanks!

ciku,
Good price!
i get it here 1330 with 4gb, case and screen protector.
No choice, not a competitive place like KL

Where did you buy? FOTODATA shop in SS2...RM 1499...fuiyo..and only 4GB card i think...your 8GB card class 4??

depends..do you clean images or the grainy one..
My fav mode is Manual with the lowest ISO for night shots. of coz, if the longer the shutter is, then a tripod is needed (which i rarely need those if the places were full of sufficient lights)
