Maybe the Oly C-5060WZ or C-8080WZ. The 35mm format zoom equivalent is
28 to 140 mm.

Thanks, but, according to CNet:

http://reviews.cnet.com/Canon_PowerShot_G6/4507-6501_7-...

the G6's "Equivalent 35mm focal length" is 35-140mm. Is their method of
estimate somehow wrong? Thanks!

Yes, indeed, these do have impressive lenses. But both are rather bulky
(15.2 ounces for C-5060WZ) and don't match the second requirement --
fitting in the hand of a petite girl... :-)

Don't we have anything else from the hundreds of brilliant engineers working
for all these electronic companies?

Thanks for the prompte response. Yours,

Try the Canon Powershot S70. It has a 28-100mm zoom (35mm-equivalent) and is
slightly smaller than the earlier S series

If you go to dpreview and do a features search (homepage/buying
guide/features search) you can specify a wide zoom end of
< 28 (though it still returns exactly 28mm matches) and a weight of less
than 350g/12oz. It will return a table showing the features of each of the
5 matches.

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.asp

You should be aware that the wider you go the more chance you have of barrel
distortion/warping (probably the wrong words - others can explain better
than me).

Good luck.

The Fuji E500 & E510 are 4 & 5 megapixel cameras that have 28-90mm zoom
lenses. For casual point & shoot use, they're fine, but inexpensive
wide-angle lenses don't exist for a reason- it's more difficult to control
distortion and purple fringing as lenses get wider. In other words, there
will be some quality trade-offs involved.

These cameras also eat batteries a bit more quickly than most, as they take
just a pair of AAs (instead of 4, as most do, or a high-capacity proprietary
Li-Ion) and have a very large screen which, while impressive, uses up a lot
of power and, with its ultra-tiny viewfinder, is the only way to accurately
take shots.

Also, they take xD memory, which is considerably more expensive than either
CF or SD, and often not included as a readable format in most card readers
(not a huge problem, just means you have to be more careful with what you
buy).

But the camera is small, light and very easy to use.

That's true -- but there are free tool that can fix barrel distortion very
easily.

THanks, but the weight rules this one out -- over 19.9 ounces PLUS battery
and media...
