I just ordered a Pentax Optio S after reading reviews on CNET:

It's 3.2 mp with 3X optical zoom (and 4X digital zoom = 12X) and has a slew of features, including movie recording, voice memos, 3-D imaging, night scenes, panorama ,etc. But the size and speed of this jewel is what sold me. It's smaller than a deck of cards so I can tuck it into a jersey pocket. It fires up ready to shoot in less than two seconds and has a very short lag time between shots (on my old digicam I sometimes missed shots because of shutter lag.) Expensive, yes, but I got a great on-line value through WalMart (they include a 128mb card for the camera-only price at other websites). I can't wait to get it.
