There's also this company called "Leica" which  has been known to make a
rangefinder camera of various sizes some of them small some of them digital.
A camera I'd love to have for those times when I want to be hardly aware I
have a camera on me is the Dlux 3.
Elegant. 
A nerd factor of 0.
Love that16/9 format.
A gorgeous compact camera you can have on you and not know it.
See a shot and go  "wish I had a camera on me"
Then go home and find it in your pocket.

A black one for sure.
Love the huge screen on the back.
No shudder lag.
And you can override all automatic functions.
