Probably RX100, though it certainly isn't cheap. If that's not what you're looking to spend, Canon S-whatever.

either of these is what i'd suggest. Small, well built, excellent image qualityProbably RX100, though it certainly isn't cheap. If that's not what you're looking to spend, Canon S-whatever.

Just picked up an S120, I thought the touch screen would be pure gimmickry, but tap to select focus is pretty sweet, it works during video too. Every camera should do that. I have mine setup to set exposure comp on the front dial and aperture on the rear dial and it's pretty damn good. Handles very well, but these cameras are small enough that I bought a little rubber grip for the front to make it a little chunkier, the Sony really needs one from my short time with one.

I have a Canon S95... which I love but I sort of want to get the S110 because it's better.

The canon S110 has been dipping down to $200 on sale lately, but the IQ from the G15 is supposed to be noticeably better and at a $299 sale price that's the way I'd go.
Just my .02 though.

Those G's are a bit of a beast though, not sure I'd want one tucked into my waist for a long run.

I'd love to get a G15, but it's just too big. I love my S95 because I can throw it in my pocket and it's not noticeable (like a cell phone). I ran around Oklahoma D-Day (the world's largest paintball event) for 3 years with it in my pocket taking a ton of abuse and it's been wonderful. I'm sure the g15 is better, but it's too big to justify the increase in quality.

I have an S95 as well It's been great -- especially for its size. I have a Sony A6000 on preorder and will probably end up with a couple primes before it gets here

I just got an RX100 for aerial photography. Works awesome for that! Don't think that'll help anyone else here though.
