Question

I need a really small dig. camera to tuck under my armpit or in asmall pocket whilst wearing m/c leathers.
Looked at Canon Ixus 400 & Pentax Optio 4.
What do you recommend?
Must have rechargeable battery NOT AA's.
Merry Christmas.

of those two.... Ixus

Nearly bought one but thought driving licence was more important so bought a Radar detector instead.

Just bought a Minolta Dimage XT last week, bloody tiny with 3.2 Megapixels and 3x optical zoom. Only £223 from Costco and bought a 128 SD card for only £40ish at the same time

Had a look at an Ixus 400 in Jessops the other day. Fantastic bit of kit but couldn't beleive how heavy it was. Actually felt heavier than my old Fuji finepix 2600 which is about twice the size!!!

I recently bought a Mustek Gsmart2 from Ebay for £25. It's tiny enough to go on a keyring and can take pretty good pictures too. Only downside, is no viewing screen. It recharges by plugging in a usb cable.

Looking like a Casio EX-Z4.
Where can I get one?
Reasons for NOT getting one?
