far too many options out there....help!

i recently broke my previous camera Fuji A400 (i wasnt amazed with quality, but i'd want something similar or better)...quality factor wanted = 7.0-8.5/10

I do many outdoor activities...mtb biking, rollerblading, swimming, camping, snowboarding. Most of these are during daytime, but i want a good flash as well for camping night shots (though from some reviews i found that slim cameras have very poor flashes..ex:Sony T10...or similar) In the end i want it to be decent for action shots

MP - 4 to 6
Zoom - 3 is minimum...but higher isnt really needed
Size - Slim (though S600 is nearly paper thin and is uncomfortable to hold & use)
something thats pocket sized (i really liked Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7).

I really liked KonicaMinolta's X1...but again im not sure about action shots or the weak flash.
anyhoo

Price is negligible

Thanks in advance!

Why did you like the X1?

Why did you like the X1?
i liked the button configuration...and though it still super thin, i'd prefer thinner vs thicker

It does not make the best photos though. I'd recommend the Fuji Z1/Z2/Z3 because it has the same form factor, and they perform better than the competition in lower light situations as you can use higher ISO settings like ISO 400 without the noise of the competition. That would help out with your camp pics.
