The basic specs: five megapixels, a 3X optical zoom lens, a thin body and a face with a surface area hardly larger than a credit card. Sony's T1 set the bar a year and a half back, but by now the field is littered. Sony has since replaced its T1 with two models, the T33 and the improbably slim T7, and everybody from Casio and Canon to Fujifilm and Kodak has a similar product.

On the way down the hill, the trooper who'd left the camera souvenired a turban, a rifle and a magazine of bullets from a dead villager, against the express instructions of his patrol leader. When the patrol leader...
...According to the patrol leader, Khan called the squadron's members together, reminded them of the rule against taking cameras on operations, and smashed the RK3 trooper's camera in front of them. Khan told the patrol members he would deal with them when they returned to Australia, but the leader said, "'That's not acceptable,' " he recalls. "People forget things in four months." Because "the allegations against me were serious," he reported the incident to the SAS regimental commander. The trooper who had taken the camera on patrol and looted the body was charged with a minor offense, received...
