Ive a small array of cameras already with a Oly EPL1, Canon 5D3 and IR canon 40D.
Im looking for a small, pocketable camera...needs good stills and good video, even in poor light. Also, if possible it would need to have a moveable lcd....
Anyone have any recomendations?...
 
Have a look at the Samsung EX1 which ticks all the boxes. Although the replacement EX2 has been announced which has better video. The EX1 is around £250 but you may get a better deal as its now effectively discontinued.
 
anything in the panasonic range is pretty awesome. I recommend them to everyone. pin sharp, long lasting battery and leica lenses all round almost.

Pick your price range then pick a camera to suit.

Image quality on these cameras can be as good as an slr but what you lack is the creative control of an slr. Ive had some nice shots out my compact but they dont have the SLR edge to them if people know what i mean
 
You probably need to be more specific and give an idea of budget.
Pocketable means different things to different people, to me only Canon Snn and the like are truly pocketable whereas to other people an X10 is pocketable.

For low light and good IQ there are a fair few that have a decent low aperture (Olympus XZ1, Fuji X10, Ricoh GRD, Samsung as suggested etc,.) but they don't have moveable LCD and I haven't got a clue about the video side as never use it.
 
thanks for the replys...
I was eying up a G12 as it ticks all my boxes..but tbh, its not much of a looker and its pretty big. I think im after something smaller and after a quick play...S100 is what ive plumbed for...about 230 from panamoz...bargin in my eyes.
