Agreed, see the pictures posted from both at 100% and start pixel peeping. From what I gather from most, the G10 has better IQ at ISO100, but then this IQ steeply falls off past ISO400, and this is where LX3 images IQ can be better than the G10's.
In terms of portability the LX3 is a clear winner as it is smaller and lighter. Ergonomics, G10 is better.
But if you want IQ and will be taking predominately daylight shots or carry a tripod to the more challenging light, then the G10 is for you.
For more street photography where one doe not carry a tripod and you want to use it in more situationws where light is not the best, then the LX3 is a killer. The LX3s ability to be small and discrete makes it the perfect stealth camera, hehe..
