Howdy from the cold of Wyoming;

I was going to post this on the DUG but Yahoo won't take my log-in, so here 
it goes.

I am searching for the "perfect" digital pocket camera and this is my ideal 
for my needs.

1) pocketable and about the same size and configuration as Contax T-2
2) large sensor, full-frame (24x36) or at least APS-C or 4/3
3) wide sensitivity range 100-1600
4) single focal length lens equivalent to 35mm on 35mm but perhaps anything 
in the range of 28-40 equivalent.
5) very low distortion lens, I hate barrel and pincusion distortion in most 
of the P&S zooms.
6) fast lens speed of f/2 or faster.
7) simple controls with common ones readily available without going to the 
menu-- shutter speed, aperture, ISO
8) accurate eye-level finder, I dislike LCD only viewfinders, and I wear 
glasses. 

Anyone have any ideas?  What is your "ideal" pocket digicam?

Regards

Mike
