One other thing I would add which might be construed as offensive to TL500 shooters is this: There are many more talented shooters with LX5s, S95s, and even GRDs. I think that really hurts a camera.
When I'm looking at buying a new camera I invariably search through flickr for some full size examples. Let's just say it's pretty slim pickings when you look at the TL500.
If this is offensive, please realize I'm including myself in the group of TL500 shooters on flickr
