I wanted something ultra small so I can take it everywhere. I picked up a Casio 5 megapixel EX-S500 credit card size (.54-.6 thick) It has 3x optical, nice controls and a stainless steel body.

It lists for $399.00 w/o a memory card. I found it at Costco today for $319.00 bundled with a 256 MB card. I'll get a 1 GB card later.

Plus I am selling my 3 year old Sony DSC85 4.0 mega pixel large body camera for $250.00 with it's 128 MB card and a cheap case. So for an extra $70.00 I was able to grab what I wanted in the first place. An ultra small decent camera.

Mine is gray but it comes in orange and white too.

Nice cam. Looks like it'd be easy to sneak into places that wouldn't want them in there, like concerts.

At 5mpx and a 256 MB card, I doubt you'll find the need for a 1 GB card. A 256 MB card will hold roughly 200 5mpx JPGs. I have yet to fill an entire 256 MB card in a single outing, and I go out with the intent of taking as many pictures as possible.

FS - Not at over $10,000.00

Flux - I may get the 1 GB card if I end up using it for video. I think it will record an hour per GB of 640 X 480 video.

Christ! Hasselblad digital backs have come down! I remember they were $20,000 a year or so ago.
