Thanks for your replies.

I already have a Fujifilm Finepix S602zoom but find that too big to be lugging around and by the time i turn it on and it winds all its bits up, focuses and zooms any animal would be over the next hill with the noise it makes. So i was more in the idea of a nice little compact that i can just pull out of my pocket, switch on and shoot with without making any noise at all if that's possible.
