If you want a fixed lens compact, the LX100 is -fantastic-. So is the RX100. There are what, four versions of the RX100 now?
Avoid Canon and Nikon compacts.
If you go with an M4/3 body, you can share lenses, which is always a plus. The Panasonic GM series is teeny, and there are a couple different sizes available with different features.
Any Olympus PEN with in body IS would be great, too. Just make sure to get one with the newer 16mp sensors, as the 12mp ones are rather noisy by today's standards.
