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

Fuji DL-150

The goat travel point and shoot. Also throwing out the idea of vintage digital point and shoots (Fujifilm Finepix F31fd, F30, F20, F11, F10).

Here it is, folks! Volume I of what could very well be a continuous project. Thank you so much to everyone that submitted - I smiled the entire time I was putting this together. It's best listened to with headphones βΊοΈ
Liner Notes:
This collection of field recordings is a collaborative effort with users of PI.FYI, each of which recorded their own pieces. It features audio from all over the world and exhibits eclectic moments from London Underground commutes to cuckoo bird calls in Dhaka to the sounds of a century-old American diner.
Online communities like PI.FYI often represent a diverse set of people, places, and experiences, but together, the submissions form a living collage that highlights the commonalities of modern life - a unifying message for such a tumultuous time. The first track features all of the sounds played at once in an attempt to create an audio snapshot of an online community but in their offline lives.
The individual recordings are unedited except for minor gain and compression adjustments for consistency across the collection.
