Larry, I agree with you. The Leica D-LUX3 is a 28mm, but the D-LUX4 (recently announced) is a 24mm. The D-LUX4 is the Leica version of the Lumix LX3.

@Jerry- OK, seems reasonable.

@Lee- After looking at the two Lumix’s and the Leica’s specs more closely I think I’m going to leave them off the list. I already have one Lumix on the list that has a 24mm lens, the two you suggested have 25mm… close I know but having them on the list would violate my rule of thumb that I have in my book and many posts of 24mm or less being a real estate camera. I don’t want to speak with forked tongue:)

The Leica’s are 28mm which is just not wide enough for real estate in my opinion. Gotta draw the line some where and I draw it at 24mm.

Larry, please add the Sony A300 to the list. It’s great camera for REP.

Lee- Thanks for additions to the list. I will add these to the list. I knew someone out there would help me out filling out the list of compacts. I’ve not been following compacts for the last year and they have been multiplying like rabbits!

As soon as there start to be micro 4:3 cameras I will add them to the list. My sole criteria for adding compact camera’s to this table is that they have to be 24mm or wider.

Larry, I’ll through a couple sub-28mm compact cameras to you:
Samsung NV24HD
Lumix FX37
Lumix FX500
Ricoh GX200
Leica D-LUX4
Leica C-LUX3

So where do you think the micro 4/3 platform will fit into this discussion?
