What's the pick of the litter for a small P&S? Needs 12 or more PX; optical zoom of 10x; large "window"; timer for selfie; good glass of course; simple, simple, and simple.
TIA.

I would call Joel up at Camera Land, let him know your budget and requirements and he will know the best options currently available.
Great photography is not about being in the right place at the right time, it is about putting yourself in the right place at the right time.

Just picked up a used Sony Cybershot DSC-RX100 II. Pretty awesome little camera. A lot of potential and capabilities but has decent auto modes if you're not up for all the features.
Plus, it's truly a pocket camera. I wanted something more portable than my ancient D80 and this fit the bill quite nicely.
Saving my pennies for an upgrade to a D7100 here one of these days...

George,
Head over to the NBTE (new .223AI thread) and you can see some pics I just posted with the Sony. Some have effects added for fun (built in to the camera) but I'm still pretty impressed with the quality for such a small P&S...
Obviously, I ain't a pro so take this for what it's worth...

The RX-100II is a fantastic camera. It is a fantastic buy right now too since they released the RX-100III.

Mojo- and CL, thanks for the advice. First I apologize for spelling "Lumix" (as in Panasonic DMC-ZS5) as "Luminex."Not finding it since May, I was convinced I lost it in the gobbler woods until today when I found it in a hunting vest pocket back in a closet. It may not be a Sony Cybershot but I'm sure glad I found it.
