Awesome deal on an action camera. The Contour+2 is currently $100, instead of the regular $300.

If you've wanted a GoPro but didn't want to spend $300-400 this is a great option.

Same deal again, today only.

Quite the expensive digital camera.

Physics. The zoom elements take up space.

As well as other camera hardware. The sensor is usually smaller than a normal camera, less MP and more.

If you do want a slim pretty good camera for the $300 range you may be interested in this deal: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=73873.0

This one is the slimmest I can find for you https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HNJWUBI/ref=twister_B00HQ9EA86?_encoding=UTF8&th=1, but if you are looking for "smartphone thin" you are basically out of luck, you can find a smartphone though (wouldn't be as good picture quality as a camera.)

A6000 and a couple lenses. But you knew that would be the answer.

They aren't mutually exclusive, you know.

I get that. But I'm looking for a great shot with good portability for travel and such. Also for taking pictures of the family. I read reports online that the cameras are essentially the same size when you take into account the larger lenses for mirrorless.

Wanted to hear others opinions.

I use the base 16-50mm power zoom lens. It's tiny.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
