I want to get a digi cam, I really like the small ones, easy to carry and all that but still want the optical zoom and SD Card is preferred as I have a PDA which has SD.

So I have looked at the Pentax Optio S which looks like a nice camera but is 3.1 MP and aroud £180 but does use SD cards.

I have also looked at the Canon Ixus 500 which I also really like whih has 5 MP but has compact flash and is more expensive at £270ish

Anybody got any others I can take a look at?
