Perfect Compact?
Still on the trail of the perfect compact and, based on dpreview, it looks like the R8 isn't quite it. Looks like low light and image processing/noise are weak spots.

On the trail of the perfect camera, maybe Sigma will be worth keeping an eye on...

The perfect camera: Pocket sized, great photographers control, superb image quality, cheap reasonably priced.
Ricoh came close except for the noise thing.
Canon arguably got closer.
But what I was really waiting for was a digital something that crossed an XA with an OM-4, only 'more so'.
Then I realized that the real advantage of a pocket sized camera is that it's with you all the time: in your pocket. And while you're waiting for the perfect pocket camera, it's obviously not, well, in your pocket. Thus, waiting for the perfect pocket camera defeats the whole objective of a pocket sized camera.
So I bought one of these & happy I have been.
There's a moral there somewhere...

Actually, it's not flash that's bad. It's on camera flash that gives flash a bad name. After all, just what is natural light?
Two steps to getting flash off camera:
1. One of these for the flash bit
2. A set of these for off camera bit
Now, if only I could remember what I learnt about lighting at college...
