1.Ricoh G1 -excellent 28mm 2.8 and magnesium body. Full manual aperture 
besides AE.
2.Yashica T4 - excellent 35mm Tessar -Good price unfortunately not produced 
more. 
3.Olympus Miu -also called Epic- one of the best value -by far- for the money
4.Pentax Efina- APS. Truly tiny! Never quit my wife's bag -a toy-
5.Pentas 110 reflex - a true miniature camera
6 Konica A4 -my first AF tiny camera
7.Canon Ixus -the first APS camera-
8.Nikon Rollei 35AF  -not so tiny but with a nice 35mm f2,8 .In my daughters 
hands.
9.Minox 35 -actually in my nephew hands as I had difficulties setting manual 
focusing and aperture- Probably one of the better?

I'm not sure if I forget someone, I think not.

I don't like Contax T, Minolta TC1 and Nikon 35 or 28TI for the exaggerated 
price however the excellent lenses nor the Leicas p&s by the same reason. 
Probably are the best but I believe they are not reasonable buy.

Regards

Felix

PS Karen: Never are too many cameras!
