While I understand your _____ (pick one: loyalty, humor, sarcasm, irony, ..), for most models and categories, I wouldn't choose Pentax P&S.
For the most compact and lightweight ones, I'd go for Panasonic Lumix. E.g. my wife's DMC-ZR1 is extremely small and light (she carries it in her purse all the time, and sometimes even looses it in there), has a reasonable zoom (25-200mm equiv.), and produces very acceptable images. (It's ~1 year old; there are newer cameras in the same family.) When I was reading various reviews on the compact P&S, I found that Lumix arguably took the leadership in that category. It used to be Canon's Digital Elph (IXUS) a few years ago.
