really small compact with good IQ

[owain_thomas]

I'm really happy with my D70 but there are times when I'd love to just have a thin, pocketable compact with me instead. are there any that will produce acceptable results? I'm aware that "accetpable" is a pretty subjective thing but can anyone recommend any that do a decent job. also having got very used to my DSLR I would not be happy with anything with much shutter lag, is that possible?

TIA

Might be worth checking out the TZ3

Hi,

thanks for the suggestion, I'd seen this camera get a lot of praise but was hoping for something even smaller if possible - any ideas or does IQ really suffer below this size?

blimey. the TZ3 is pretty dinky !

I would have a browse around www.dpreview.com

Have a look at Fuji F31D if you want good low light performance, the canon ixus range seem to perform reasonably well, there are a few new models coming out there if you check dpreview

It is an excellent camera, but hardly " dinky ".

For a really nice, well made, really small camera, with a wide angle lens, take a look at the Panny FX 01.
