Smallest digital camera?

I bought what I thought was a very small digital camera.  It's approx
95 x 60 x 20 mm   (under 120 grams).

Then I saw that back in 2003, Casio launched the S3 and it was only
90 x 57 x 12mm    (weight 72 grams).

The S3 might not have a zoom and might have some other restrictions but
it is still a viable fully-fledged consumer camera.

Is the S3 the smallest/lightest digital camera?  I mean for consumer
use.  Not something specialised for military, aerospace, or whatever.

   I have a little credit card size (3.25" x 2") no zoom camera.
Considering all, it does well.  I do tend to carry it many times when I
would not have carried my regular camera and I have some photos I would have
missed without it.

  "Viable?"  Just how do you GRIP anything 3.5"x2.25"x0.5"?  And how
easy is it to use the controls on any digicam that size?

No $4 to park!  No $6 admission!  http://www.INTERNET-GUN-SHOW.com

Do you mean this?

Weight claimed is 110 grams.  Maybe 72 grams means not including the
battery and SD card?
