Where would you go to buy a tiny screwdriver
As per title really. I am intending to take the case off a digital camera (I know, I know, it's a last resort!) but the screws are very small crosshead ones! I therefore need a very small screwdriver but wouldn't know where to get such a thing - I do mean VERY small btw. Suggestions welcome. I'm guessing a screwdriver designed for watchmakers or for glasses may do the trick. I'd prefer to buy in the flesh than online in this instance

Already tried those little screwdrivers you get in xmas crackers and they were still way too big and the metal (i.e. quality) too irregular. I'd likely just mash the screws up with a cheap cracker driver.

dont buy a cheap set,
on some of the smaller blades, the shank can spin in the handle rendering the screwdriver near on useless.
buy a semi reasonable set,
and a block of bluetack!!
these beastys arnt often magnetic, so you need somthing to hold the screws on the end of the screwdriver (tiny blob of bt)

It is possible to get a set of 6 assorted small ones, crosshead and flat, in good electrical retailers such as RS or similar.
I have just looked at my set and they have Halfords written on them! They are small enough to do glasses and are good quality.
