For compactness try Olympus XA and Minox 35. Both are tiny and take flashes (the Minox has a dedicated line of flashes but it'll take other models as well). The Olympus has a coupled rangefinder whereas the slightly smaller Minox is scale-focus. People tend to think the Minox's lens may have the edge in sharpness, though the glass on the XA is certainly not shabby either. Both have cult followings, the only one I own is the Minox and I can vouch that the lens is really very sharp indeed, it's up there with the Summicron glass.
