Thanks Carl. Those are useful sites (especially dpreview) but it's
frustrating that the pre-defined filters never seem to quite match what
I want; I guess everyone wants to filter the info in different ways. A
spreadsheet or database of features would be great because it could be
custom sorted/filtered on any parameter, but I haven't found one yet.

The Canon range looks good but the wide angle (28mm) versions are
relatively thick and ideally I was looking for something not much more
than 20mm. Time to compromise somewhere!
