Steve,
As well as my Pro Digital SLR I have one of the small Sony DSC T1's. They've now been updated but fit the bill for most of your above 'wish-list'
Have a 'huge' 3" LCD monitor on the back and are ultra slim in design for putting in your pockets etc. Carl Zeiss optics are another plus point (3x Optical zoom)
They're upto 10.1 megapixels now.
Have a look here... As I say...It's the DSC T range you need. They're the slimmer ones.
