Makes sense, though I'd be more worried about someone making off with it than it getting banged up.
>>263211 Fair enough, but I don't think it would give that much over the G1.
Look at the classic camera for what you're talking about- like someone pointed out, it's the M, which is also not pocketable. The M8 (which I think is like a millimeter thicker than the rest of them, 5 excepted obviously) is 139 x 80 x 37 mm. The G1 is 124 x 84 x 45mm. Pretty close, slightly less wide, slightly more tall. Add a shoe finder on top of the M, and you'll probably square them off pretty well.
And you're saying an S5IS will stand out- I use a bridge camera of roughly the same size (another Panasonic, actually) for that very sort of stuff, for the reasons you're saying. I've never had a problem with it standing out. I can actually be walking right next to someone, shoot them, and them not notice. I doubt that'll be true of the G1, but not because it's a centimeter bigger in a few directions, but because it goes for a quiet focal plane shutter over the silent leaf shutter in the bridge camera.
