A recent issue of the New York Times compares 6 new slim-profile digital cameras: the Canon PowerShot SD400, Casio Exilim EX-S100, Fujifilm Finepix Z1, Nikon S1, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T33 and Cyber-shot DSC-T7. 
These are mostly 5-Megapixel devices less than 0.8 inches thick and with 2 – 2.5 inch LCD screens and 3x optical zoom. The reviewer gives the overall nod to the Sony DSC-T7, with place and show going to the Nikon S1 and the Canon SD400 respectively. This came as a relief to me, as I had recently purchased a T7, and had been happily using it in various countries during the course of this month … but a full review of my experiences later.

It confirms what the article said about the T7 producing slightly softer shots..

I know the feeling you describe here…you buy a device only to read a review of it afterwards, and it’s always a relief to learn you made a good choice!
Flamingos are some of the world’s most photogenic subjects!
