Ultra Compact Digital Camera - Help me choose.

pfpf

hello.
need something quite quickly for upcoming hols.

i have a Panasonic TZ20 (took me an eternity to decide on that one earlier this year) but i really would like something more compact that will just sit in a pocket, but im finding it difficult to work out just how small some models are just by using the net.

i used to have a Casio EXZ75 (http://a.img-dpreview.com/news/0701/casio_exz75_frontback.jpg) which was pretty small (Dimensions 95.4 x 60.6 x 19.6 mm) so something on that scale or smaller.

the better quality pictures the better of course but esentially a point a shoot possibly with some kind of zoom and fairly low priced?

so please add your sugestions here.

thank you.

Aren'y you describing a mobile phone? ;o)

The Panasonic is a very good camera, I believe, but if you really want something smaller, you may have to go to a few shops and look at some. Tesco usually have quite a few on display, and at the moment seem to have some good offers, also "clearance" cameras. Maybe the type with a sliding front cover would be better to stick in your pocket? Have a look at the Fuji website - they have some good offers on refurbished cameras (if you have enough time to allow for delivery). I think they give dimensions, if you look at the full description.

There are some good mobile phones, maybe without zoom but you can at least centre crop the image.

Recently bought SWMBO one of these Lumix Olympic cameras. Got it for about £50. Currently quite cheap after the Olympics have finished!

Shirt pocket sized, 4 x zoom and optical image stabilisation.
