 So, I think I want something that's portable but has a huge sensor. I know the cannon s90 is great, but I'm strongly considering the Olympus PEN E-PL1. For less then the cost of a Cannon s90, I can get a sensor that's over 5 times larger. Camera would be bigger, but not stupid huge like a DLSR. And I could always get the pancake lens later on.

HMMMM. Apparently the pancake lens costs more then the camera itself. WTF.

I think the NEX is available in a kit with a 16mm pancake, and is a bit smaller than the E-PL1.

Thanks. Sorry for the derail.

Its sad that every time they put a huge sensor in a compact, it has to be absurdly expensive.

 The Canon S95 just dropped to 230$ on Amazon.
