| I've recently picked up a minolta dimage x after reading a few reviews I like how small the camera is as it really does fit in a shirt pocket but even at only 5.5 oz it still is quite noticeable after a while are there lighter cameras in the 2mp range? and if so do they take good pics like the dimage x? |

I did a quick scan on dpreview and only found one that weighed less (5.1 oz) not much difference but it didn't have any optical zoom.
I would check out dpreview for yourself to take a look at the camera reviews at the same time. |

yeah that's one of the major selling points for me with this camera I can deal with the weight I guess do they make belt clips with cases for small digital cameras (hopefully consealing the fact that it is a camera as some retail establishments look at you funny if you bring in a camera)
anyway here's the first desent pic I've taken with the camera (quite edited in photoshop but I like it)

| I'm partial to clouds and I like the detail you've brought out here. Nice use of framing as well. |

How about the Sony DSC-U20? 2 million pixels and 4.2 ounces. I've seen some relatively nice shots out of them too.

I have the Pentax Optio S (3.5 oz. w/o battery) that I use as a second, take everywhere type camera. It fits in an Altoids tin to boot! Here is the spec sheet.

I love it, just not sure I would recommend it as my only digital camera. It is great to pack along when I wanna travel lite and plan on taking candids, family, scenics, etc. and dont wanna lug the D60 with me

| Scab, that optio looks awesome, I am looking for a good little camera to carry backpacking, I was confused with the memory, is it built in and has removeable sticks? How much memory can you get for it? and how much do they generally cost? |

The Optio has 11MB of built-in memory. It also uses SD memory cards. I have a 128 and a 64 mb card also. The price is 399.00, although you might be able to find it a lttle cheaper if you look around. :)

I don't think that it gets much smaller than the Cheez Splash.

There is also a slightly improved Optio out now, for about $300, the S4 is a 4Mp version, with slightly faster response times/ buffers.
I got one pretty recently, you can see some shots from it at :
This gallery
and some more at
this gallery
Though the second gallery also has some D60 shots mixed in. All the panoramas were shot on the S4.
