Smallest Point and Shoot with a 6x or higher optical stabalized zoom?

My mother in laws Panasonic w/ OIS was stolen last week. She loved the camera, but would prefer something with more optical zoom and preferably optical stabilization as well, but she likes em relatively small.

Anything fit the bill?

Canon A570IS is $200 from the Egg with a free 1gb SD card. I like mine.

Thanks Zardnok, but the optical zoom is only 4x and its kinda big.

is that cannon and digi cam or digi video camera? seems like an odd form factor for the digital camera.
