In the pocket
Look what I got for Christmas! I'm very happy with my present camera (a Panasonic Lumix DMC-F27 with a 50mm Leica lens and 12x optical zoom) but wanted something compact enough I could carry it with me all the time. Little did I imagine something might be as compact as this Pentax Optio Z10 (light as a feather and no thicker than the diameter of a quarter) and still take excellent pictures and videos - indeed, it manages somehow to offer 7x optical zoom... don't ask me how! I'll never be caught without a camera again. (This picture is of course by trusty if somewhat concerned elder sibling Lumix).
