Gun, that S-40 is quite small, and fits at least in my pocket. But, if you want something really small, there is always Minolta X-serie. Worth of checking out, esp Xi. Good point Jordy, my Minolta 7i eats normal AA batteries, and I'm very, very happy for that. Prize of packet of four (best you can get) NiMH batteries is 1/5 compared to custom battery. (So I got two packages of four, and spent rest to beer, girls and fancy living.) I'm also carrying one package of normal batteries with me, so when NiMH's run out, I can still get ~30 shots. And if needed, can get new batteries anywhere. Happy hunting Gun. .n
