Pentax Espio Mini

The Pentax Espio Mini is probably my favorite compact camera.

It's a tiny 35mm autofocus camera fitted with a very high performance 32mm F3.5 lens. It's beautifully coated and capable of jaw-dropping images. It can easily fit in a pocket.

The autofocus is fast and precise and the exposure is fully automatic from 2s to 1/400s, and there's even a B setting (but no external cable release!). It also has a slow sync mode for night shots.

There's a panorama 16:9 crop mask that can be used to create pseudo panoramic images. 

Other cameras in the same class are the Ricoh R1 and the Olympus mju (Stylus), but honestly, I prefer the Pentax.
