Pros: Size, 3x Optical Zoom, 3.2MP... did I say size?
Cons: How battery is charged and location of shutter and on/off buttons
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this camera if you are looking for the smallest one with the most features. It's the perfect camera you can take anywhere without skimping on picture quality.

Pros: Extremely small & lightweight - Intuitive user interface & button layout - Fair picture quality
Cons: There are other cameras with better performance in regard to image quality, battery life, etc.
The Bottom Line: A great camera, small and light enough to always take along. Has a few minor flaws, but holding it in your hands, you'll forget about them and be totally awed!

Pros: Take Anywhere Size with full features
Cons: Small buttons take some getting used to, no case included
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a super small camera to take everywhere with you, and doesn't compromise on features, then look no further, this camera is unbelievable.

Pros: quality in a tiny package, looks, ease of use
Cons: 'on/off' button might be confused with shutter release button, battery compartment hinge seems flimsy
The Bottom Line: The set of keys in my right pocket is probably heavier that the quality 3.2 megapixel camera in my left pocket - that's why I bought it!

Pros: Size & weight are astounding. Has most "big camera" features at affordable prices.
Cons: Wrist strap is too large for camera. Soft pouch is tight. NONE YET
The Bottom Line: Buy it, you will not be disappointed - and perhaps you could let your wife, and kids, use it too. (if they find where you hid it)

Pros: Ultra-compact, stunning picture quality, loaded with features
