"On paper" the Optio 550 looks very interesting to me; unfortunately NO store 
in my home city ("ninth-largest in the USA" notwithstanding) carries it so if I 
do get one it'll have to be purchased sight unseen.

Looking for any useful comments about this camera. I like the idea of *small* 
because I'm looking for it to be my carry-everywhere camera; and not so 
intrigued by the Altoids-tin one because I like having manual controls 
available (even when I don't use them much). 

The only other camera on the market that's seriously tempting me at the moment 
is the Olympus C5050, but I don't think it's quite as small, and it's not a 
Pentax. Also, I tried one out in a local store (this, they can carry, but not 
Pentax) and was underwhelmed by image quality.
