I'm looking for a P+S that I can carry round when my DSLR is too bulky
or obtrusive, but I've been disappointed with the limitations of my
Ixus as it has no manual control, so I miss a lot of pictures.

Can anyone suggest a good manual P+S? I've looked at the Panasonic LX1,
but dpreview is pretty mixed on the subject. I also considered the
Olympus mju-810 but it takes xD cards, and I have a stack of SD that
would go to waste!

Ideas welcomed!!
