Help - Ultra Compact Cameras
 

Hey folks!

I am really wanting to get one of those uber cool ultra compact cameras before the next show. I love my Olympus 3030Zoom but it's ancient technology now and way too big to fit in my purse. The pictures are great, but it's clunky.

I'd love to know what you guys like and dislike about your own, and if you have any recommendations!

Thanks in advance!

Here's an example of a picture my handy little Olympus took in Montreal this year:

And here's how it does in low light:

I'd like to do better than that. :)

I'm real happy with my Casio Exilim. They're tiny and take great pictures.

Just bought the new Casio last week, very impressed. 5MP rez, good battery life so far, can shoot 640x480x30fps movies non-stop (about 1GB per hour of footage, uses an SD card) and goes from "off" to shooting the first pic in less than 1.5 seconds.

Smallest camera currently on the market.

About $350 online.
