my digital camera's battery is beginning to crap out on me...
 

and i doubt i'll buy another battery. i currently have a Canon S230 powershot. i want something even smaller, with at least a 3 X optical zoom. what is the best *tiny* camera out there right now? i was hoping for a camera-phone that could eliminate the need for a stand alone personal camera all together, but there doesn't seem to be anything like that available at this point.

That little Sony Z.... Z something. That is the cats ass and SUPER small.

canon powershot sd110.. i love mine

I use the Canon Powershot Pro 1:

It might be too large for what you're looking for though.

Takes great pics though.

okay, this thing kicks ass. is there anything smaller with similar quality? i've heard some good stuff about the dimage x [sic]?

I also have the SD110.....and I used to own the S200 (same size as S230).

The SD110 is smaller than the older Elphs since it uses SD memory cards and a smaller battery.

The new SD200 and SD300 are slightly smaller than the SD110.

SD200/300 - 86 x 54 x 21 mm (3.4 x 2.1 x 0.8 in)

SD110 - 85 x 56 x 24 mm (3.3 x 2.2 x 0.9 in)

S230 - 87 x 57 x 27 mm (3.4 x 2.2 x 1.1 in)

looks nice, maybe i should get that as well and sell my 3.2 sony

cool, thanks for the info :)

If i were you i'll stick to sony.

I've got an Olympus Digi Cam.

Battery Life Sucks :BangBang: Olympus
