Good ultracompact suggestions

    Does anybody have any suggestions for a good ultra compact? I've been kinda spoilt by the quality of my D200 and SB800 combination, but for nights out where I'm not there to take photos, I like to bring a small camera to have in my pocket. My last camera, a Pentax Optio S5, is, well, past it at this stage and I'm looking to replace it.

    Any suggestions? The Leica C-Lux looks nice but pretty expensive.

    How about either of those? Of course you would need to buy more storage also as they wont take the CF cards your d200 does.

    I've been looking at the new nikon S50, it looks pretty nice and small too... any idea of the quality of that line of cameras?

    As far as storage is concerned, I've a fair few SD cards lying I think.

    Not a clue, but for a few shots down the pub pretty much anything will be fine. And if you have sd cards around somewhere you may as well get a SD camera.

    in all fairness what cameras dont use sd... fuji and some olympus...i wouldnt hold my breath for either of those manufactures to bring out a decent p and s (had to say p&s or else Sebsy might get irate):D
