Which Compact? (Updated)

The original post had a problem with the Panasonic comments. First, apparently the raw converter I used distorted the distortion marks, so I've retested using JPEG and other converters. This changes a few of my conclusions. Second, I've fixed the 16:9 and 4:3 remarks (when I originally started writing the review I didn't yet have the LX3 and was originally comparing against the LX2 and GX-100. Some of those LX2 thoughts didn't get corrected when I change the review. My apologies. Finally, since so many of you asked, I added some comments about optical viewfinders. The full answer is really long-winded, so you'll have to read the article, which you can find in my Compact Shootout.
