I'm so far out of the loop on compacts I don't even know where the ends are. :)

I'm looking for something nice and small but with decent exposure control i.e. A/S/M options. Must be small, either small enough to fit in the saddlebag of the bike or in one of my back pockets. Already got a Fuji X10 which is way too big.

Been looking at the Panasonic TZ60 and the |Canon SX620 which seem to tick a lot of bnoxes. Budget around about £200.

Anything else I should consider?
 
Everyone seems to be asking about compacts at the moment, think there are a good few threads already on the go.

Not too sure about the Panasonic TZ 60, sensor is too small. I have the Fuji X10, and it is a little to bulky, but it is my main carry about camera. I am in the market for another compact.

There should be loads of old compact floating about for sale, I just can't seem to find them. People are sticking them on ebay, and asking silly prices for them. Second hand shops have long since gone, Cash Converters / Generators are also asking silly prices. But it is hard to find a good quality compact, in the shops mentioned, normally just low end tat junk.
