I’m looking at 4 cameras and am not sure which is the best for me.
They are
1) Sony DSCP200
2) Pentax Optio S5n
3) Pentax Optio S5z
4) Canon SD500 (IXUS 700)

I’m wanting a good, small point and shoot camera that takes great pictures, is small, has a large LCD screen, 5 MP or larger, good flash and good quality.

Can anyone give me some advice, I’m thinking of the Pentax s5z as its new or the Canon SD500.

Alos I have heard that the small size of the Optio S5z is made possible through the innovative PENTAX Sliding Lens system that moves the powerful lens up and away as it retracts into the camera. If this is the case I’m a bit worried as there are many working parts and that could cause problems. Any suggestions??
