The Bottom Line	A few performance issues with the Nikon Coolpix P5000 diminish the appeal of an otherwise nice compact camera for amateurs.	The Canon PowerShot G7 is a solid enthusiast camera for those who've ruled out a budget dSLR.	The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 is a good choice for an enthusiast looking for a powerful camera that can fit into a jacket pocket.	As long as you're not expecting dSLR speed in a tiny body, the Canon PowerShot S90 is an excellent compact camera for advanced amateurs.	Olympus' SP-550UZ has great ergonomics, but disappointingly slow performance and soft, noisy images drag it down.
