I'm looking for the same and found 2 (expensive) candidates so far, both worth looking at:
- Sigma DP2
- Ricoh GR2
Both pocketable, supposed to have outstanding image quality and very low key appearance (nice when shooting candid pictures) - but I finally bought the Lumix LX-3.
You can also have a look at he new Olympus EP-1.

When you say "fixed lens" and "large sensor," the Sigma DP2 comes to mind. There is no zoom at all, but the SLR-size sensor should let you crop to make up for some of that. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/585341-REG/Sigma_C72900_DP2_Digital_Camera_.html<br><b>References : </b><br> Canon G10 seems to fit the bill.

I have a couple of friends that own the G10 and they claim the image quality is presentable.<br><b>References : </b><br> If the G10 had a tilt screen like it's older siblings I would recommend that camera.

The best back up body you can have for a Canon 30D is another 30D (or of course the Nikon equivalent). +++ Additional: in that case then I certainly concur with either a G9 or G10. If you decide to go with a Canon system then you can also use your external flashes, plus other Canon equipment on your back up camera. +++<br><b>References : </b><br> I don't want to sound like I'm stating the obvious here, but for the price of a new 'high quality fixed length' camera (about £300) you could buy another 30D body (or Nikon D60 body).
