Moose,
An interesting, because rather small p/s with 28mm equiv WA, with some ok
video capability,
(but some other problems) is Panasonic TZ3:

Unfortunately along your previous comment, they took out the video zoom
capability on this p/s,
versus the previous version!
One thing I don't like in general with most digi p/s, is there are so few with
decent native W/A
capability. It seems default is about ~35mm equiv on 80+% of these cameras now.
A W/A is so much
more useful than a long tele, esp in a p/s.
