Archived from groups: alt>photography, others (more info?)

I bought what I thought was a very small digital camera. It's approx
95 x 60 x 20 mm (under 120 grams).

Then I saw that back in 2003, Casio launched the S3 and it was only
90 x 57 x 12mm (weight 72 grams).

The S3 might not have a zoom and might have some other restrictions but
it is still a viable fully-fledged consumer camera.

----

Is the S3 the smallest/lightest digital camera? I mean for consumer
use. Not something specialised for military, aerospace, or whatever.

The Praktica Mini was discussed earlier this year when someone in
the ng had just purchased it, so it may still be available. But I
don't think it was ever introduced into the USA. It also lacks a
zoom and weighs in at 79 x 40 x 27mm and 90 grams, has a 3mp 1/2"
CCD, uses SD cards and AAA batteries. Here's what it looks like:

I have a little credit card size (3.25" x 2") no zoom camera.
Considering all, it does well. I do tend to carry it many times when I
would not have carried my regular camera and I have some photos I would have
missed without it.

"Viable?" Just how do you GRIP anything 3.5"x2.25"x0.5"? And how
easy is it to use the controls on any digicam that size?

Do you mean this?

Weight claimed is 110 grams. Maybe 72 grams means not including the
battery and SD card?
