Personally I'm pretty happy with my LX7 for this kind of shit. As it's small and light I have it with me at all times when /out/ which means I get waaaaay more nice pics from it than I would with a DSLR.
Pros:
F1.4.
Many of the manual controls have their own dedicated sliders/buttons.
Fairly wide ish lens for what it is.
Shutter speeds down to 250 seconds
Pretty cheap nowadays.
Cons:
High ISO performance is a bit shit (small sensor perhaps?)
Gets a little grainy on long dark exposures even at low ISO.
Processing time of whatever the shutter time was after each exposure. This does mean dead pixels are dealt with though which is nice.
I personally am a BIG fan of compacts though, like I said it's better a compromised camera that's with you at all times than a perfect one that's only there when you can be arsed carrying it. Best camera is the one you have with you and all that.
