Easy to use with great combination of features

Looking for high quality pictures in a camera that fits in a coat pocket or small camera case.  Came from the LX-3 (and several Nikon DSLRs) which I was very happy with.  Comes down to the fact that you can't get great pics without a high quality fast lens.  And that's what this camera has, along with a decent zoom.  Got it for Christmas, 2012.  Took it to a Colts game (indoor).  First use of the camera in rather demanding circumstances and it did quite well.  Took it on a trip to Europe, mostly overcast outdoor pics, no complaints, fast focus, sharp edge to edge.  At first I thought it was under exposing in these conditions but found it was just the camera screen that made them look underexposed.  All was right on per the histogram and flashing highlights.  Wish it had an EVF but the optical works ok in a pinch.
