There's always the W90 which is being released soon...
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
Apparently.

Why does it have to be a current model? You might get lower noise from an older one. I understand noise (grain) was what was bothering you most about the W80.

Robbie D, why would I want to further the coffers of a company that has stitched me up for £230.
Pete, had an interesting conversation along that route today with a technician from a camera repair company. Funny how nobody I communicated with today regarding buying another camera recomended Pentax. Are they getting a reputation for producing duff gear on the compact front?

Pentax compacts, like several other brands are all outsourced to one company - Sanyo, so you have as much chance of a duff compact from several other companies beside Pentax.

Gwyn, it`s all of the W80 cameras ever produced that have the IQ problems. It`s not an isolated case. Pentax recognise this but their recomendation is not a cure. I will try what they say but it`s not what I bought a 12.1 MP camera for. So far the best recomendation is the Panasonic FT1.

Err, don`t use so many pixels. Hardly what you would expect from a world leader in imaging technology.
