If you don't mind a larger camera the Fuji s100fs will out perform both of them. Other than that I don't like the G10 as it's pixel density is too high. Too many pixels on too small a sensor. Probably the G9 is better. The P6000 has similar problems. The Fuji will outperform them both but is a little more expensive and is larger, being as large as an entry level DSLR.

And you know that because you have used all three of them?

No, actually not. Image-wise, the G10 out performs the G9; at least in my use of both of them.

I haven’t used the Nikon P6000, but from all the reviews, the problems are dissimilar.

I guess all the samples I've seen from the G10 with horrible smearing at iso 200 and excessive noise above that are my imagination. I admit I have not used any of them but I read reviews of all 3 and have seen sample output from all 3. To my eyes the Fuji is the best.

I also read the review on it, but my friend, who is quite professional, suggested not choose Panasonic. so now, it seems most people prefer G10 rather than P6000.

Your friend may be quite professional but he may also be totally ignorant about anything but the cameras or brands he's recommending. Rather than just taking one persons word for it do your own research. I have a friend who is a pro but quite frankly, he knows nothing about any cameras or equipment other than the ones he owns or has used. Taking your friends advice as gospel may be a bad idea. From what I've seen Panasonic on average produces at least as good P&S type cameras as Canon or Nikon.

That could simply be because there are more Canon fans out there. Please do more research on your own. A lot of opinions here are brand biased so be careful.

I agree with the above. I own a Coolpix P5000, bought for a friend a G10 and was able to play with it for two weeks, and finally decided to get the Leica D-Lux 4, which is the fancy version of the Panasonic LX3.

It really depends on what you want, but as far as speed, image quality and size you can't beat the D-lux 4/LX3. It is a true photographer's camera, mostly metal, but it does have a limited zoom range --24mm to 60mm. -- Of course, you also pay for these advantages.

The G10 is a great camera, but if is made out of plastic and it's pretty big for a P&S. If you check out some of the reviews and comparisons with the D-LUX 4/LX3, you'll see that even though it has more megapixels (14.7, I believe), the quality of the images is not as good. This is due to the fact that Leica/Panasonic decided to fit their cameras with a larger size sensor, instead of going for the "more megapixels is better" gimmick.

I used to be a die hard Nikon fanatic back in the old analogue days, but I am really dissappointed with the peformance of their compact digital cameras. I would definitely buy a Nikon if I were shopping for a DSLR, but there are certainly better alternatives in the P&S niche.

Not that DPReview is the end all but they rate the LX3 higher than the G10 or the P6000. It is a better camera.

After reading the reviews my self I'm more convinced than ever your "friend" doesn't know squat about these cameras. With friends like that who needs enemies?

I have a G10, and it is definitely not made of plastic. You should go into a good camera store and hold and try the candidates. You will get many recommendations, but in the end, it's you who will have to be comfortable with the cxamera.
