I don't usually recommend Kodak cameras, but the Kodak LS743 might fill your needs.

The Fuji Z1 is smaller and has higher resolution (5 mp vs 4 mp) and is a much better camera. It's quite a bit more expensive than the Kodak and it uses Fuji's xD Picture Cards, but in the long run, it's probably worth the extra cost. Unfortunately, it has no optical viewfinder, but that seems to be the trend with these tiny cameras.
