These days I shoot primarily with a Canon EOS-30D, but I'm looking for something with less bulk to stick in my pocket for those drunkenly candid moments.

When I say "made by" I actually mean that the Leicas are rebadged Panasonics, down to every detail save for the little red logo. The new Panny LX2 comes out early next month (16:9 aspect ratio shooting, 10MP, fully manual controls, Optical Image Stabilization, with better ISO/noise than its predecessor, all in a P&S). No facial recognition features though. Pentax makes a good camera on the SLR/DSLR side - I've been shooting them for years. You should be fine with either, really.
