[Leica] [OT] Now that the Olympus C-8080 has been discontinued...

Don, Nathan, Mehrdada,

Thanks for the suggestions. The search continues.

I was trying to avoid the DSLR because of size (and intended user -  
my wife). Size-wise, something up to the size of a M would be fine.  
The very small cameras I find tend to have poor durability but that  
can be said of most digital P&S.

Regards,
Spencer
