Which point and shoot has an excellent lens? I recently saw pictures taken with a Pentax UC1, a camera no longer in production. Which other point and shoot camera will have similar excellent results in terms of sharpness and exposure control?

This will depend some on your budget! A few cameras come to mind that have absolutely superb optics, and are often found tucked into the corner of a professional's camera bag (yes they occasionlly use P&S cameras, too): If money is no object: Now that you've had sticker shock, here are a couple in the lower price ranges: The bad news is that if you want to have manual control of focus and exposure, it will be expensive! The good news is there are a few inexpensive fixed focal length P&S with superb lenses if you are willing to accept auto focus and program mode exposure without manual override. Lastly, priced midway between these two groups is a manual focus, manual exposure sub-compact with a built-in match-needle meter. No built in flash but has a hot shoe. They went out of production in 1982 and you must find one used, but they are superb:
