Hello!

I'm looking for a small digital camera, that would have the "equivalent 35mm
focal length" starting below 30mm. The zoom would nice, but 100mm is
sufficient...

All cameras I can find have the range beginning at 36 or 38 millimeters. Can
someone recommend a good model, that would still fit in the hand of a
petite girl?

Thanks!

Maybe the Oly C-5060WZ or C-8080WZ. The 35mm format zoom equivalent is
28 to 140 mm.

Thanks, but, according to CNet:

the G6's "Equivalent 35mm focal length" is 35-140mm. Is their method of
estimate somehow wrong? Thanks!

Yes, indeed, these do have impressive lenses. But both are rather bulky
(15.2 ounces for C-5060WZ) and don't match the second requirement --
fitting in the hand of a petite girl...

Don't we have anything else from the hundreds of brilliant engineers working
for all these electronic companies?

Thanks for the prompte response. Yours,

Ok, how about Canon's PowerShot Pro1:

Try the Canon Powershot S70. It has a 28-100mm zoom (35mm-equivalent) and is
slightly smaller than the earlier S series
