Thank you. That's wonderful.
Last night I submitted one of my very first pics with it to the "All Alone" challenge and, initially, I did pick the DSC-U20 (being the DSC-U30 not avail, now I corrected it). In fact, the differences between the two models are very minimal. It looks like if its just about a convex mirror which has been added on the front of the DSC-U30 so that the photographer can point to himself before taking a shot and, maybe, about the compatibility with the new Memory Stick Pro (but I am not sure that the U20 was not compatible already).

Thanks Eddy. This is an website which compares some:
UltraCompacts
Another interesting one not in that list is the:
Pentax Optio 33WR which is waterproof!
However, considering the prices and the fact that the U30 is not only supersexy but possibly the tinest one, I am very happy with it.
I took few shots so far and I am quite happy with the quality.
Of course, no way it can be compared with the Carl Zeiss Lens on the F707, but considering how small the camera is, it is a kind of miracle it can produce such pictures.
The only real "defect", of which I was aware, it is the short life of the batteries. The user guide claims 150 shots with a couple of AAA, but in my first session they run out after 51 shots. Maybe the batteries were not well charged, but I had the impression that they were ok and that the camera just eates them.
Initially, I tought that to carry other batteries would have reduced the portability of the camera but then, when I saw the actual size of the AAA, I realized that another 4 of them can be easily carried in any pocket.
Maybe it should not be considered a real camera. Just a toy.
But it can be pretty funny! And it adds another dimension to photography.
