Huh?

IMO the important measurement would be the distance from the BACK of camera to the FRONT of the extended lens; ZS50 (under 3.75") vs. the PowerShot ZOOM Monocular's (4.06"; per specs) length.

Body small enough to be hidden while being held in hand(s) when using the EVF; as with the PowerShot ZOOM Monocular.

Yes I like being discreet; but I have no phobia of others that 'may' see me taking pictures.

Note that I keep referencing the ZS50/ ZS70 for its smaller size (no flip rear display) 'AND' the 12MP sensor. I the ZS60/ TZ80 also does not have the flip rear display, but with the 18MP sensor. IMO (and many others) 12MP the overall optimum pixel density for the 1/2.3" sensor.

Cheers,

You have a point and given the same pricing or almost the same pricing, it really doesn't make sense to get a Canon PowerShot Zoom. Something like these Panasonic compact cameras offer way more features and also reach compare to the Canon.

I have to ask though, this non-phobia of others seeing you taking pictures, is this something you were naturally born with or did you develop it over the years?

Really I feel like I am commiting a crime when I take out a camera in public, funnily though I never have the same feeling when using a smartphone.
