Recommendations for enthusiast P&S?

So I do most of my shooting with my 5D but I'd really like to pick up something a little smaller I can keep with me most of the time for those day to day kind of shots. Just looking for recommendations for something small enough to carry with me in a bag or pocket most of the time. I've played with the Canon G11 but it seems a little too bulky for what I want. The Sony NEX-5N seems right in line with what I might like but I haven't gotten to check one out in person yet. Any other recommendations?
Canon 5DMk2, Canon 40D

Right there with you. I really like my s90. So s95/s100 would be a very solid choice for a camera that will fit in your pocket and yield some very impressive shots. It also has a killer waterproof housing for not a ton of money. It lives in there when I am on vacation.
Found this comparison chart at dpreview:
Compared to Powershot S95 - key differences
The S100 is in effect a whole new camera compared to the S95; almost every key feature has been upgraded or updated:
I will say that until there are a lot of reviews out on the street (I can only find previews, not "I used the camera" reviews, and it seems like it's not even in full production yet since it's backordered at most places) "Entirely new or upgraded" isn't necessarily a good thing in this case since IMO the s90/95 got everything just about perfect already! The new features will need to match the *quality* of the existing ones, even as they extend capabilities. I'll be interested to see what sort of "real world" responses the upgraded s100 gets (particularly from people who've used the previous generations).

I too prefer a viewfinder, but there aren't that many cameras out there that have them any more, and none as small as the s95, afaik.
You do get used to it.

It's not exactly compact, but pretty capable for something in a not-so-bulky package (think of all the lenses necessary to carry on the 5D). I'd grab one if I could afford it. I'm actually tempted to not repair some of my existing cameras and pick this one instead.
