Several people I know swear by the Olympus XA, and it's one of the smallest ones out there. All of the Olympus Stylus series ones are great imo, but some are more expensive than others. I have the Olympus Stylus Zoom 140 which seems to be pretty cheap and reliable. A friend of mine has the Olympus Infinity Stylus that we both love.
Honorable mentions: Pentax Espio 140V and the Fuji DL-150
Don't sink your paycheck into a Yashica T4 when you could have one of these instead:
Pentax Espio 140V
Fuji DL-150
Olympus Stylus Zoom 140

We're long overdue in thrusting "What do you do?" into the sea forever. It's time we collectively get down to what people are interested in instead of minimizing their vibrant existence by asking how they make money.
