In Europe you could look at the Ricoh R5, but for obscure reasons they don't sell them in the US...
It all depends on who responds to your posting.Everyone will recomend a different camera...
But I claim neutral observer status as I don't own an R5 (I know someone who does) and simply suggested an option that seems to tick a lot of the boxes..

Some smaller cams:.
Fuji f30 - very good for low light shots, not the smallest. the f40 is smaller and still very good. only 3x zoom though..
Ricoh r6 - quite good IQ, wide angle, 7x zoom, quiet small.
Sony t100 - great bunch of features (3" LCD, 5x zoom also useable in videos) and great IQ..
