Pocket Digitals

Ok I know I've asked before but I need to get one more camera to take on our trip to Italy.

I'm hoping for a nice small light weight digital to fit in my wifes purse for our day trips around the country.

Please suggest stuff that isn't crazy priced. I don't need a 2k snap and shot that will get lost in 9 months

Bulky pocket I'd opt for a Panasonic LX-5 or a Canon G11. If you want a slim one that'll fit into your pocket I'd go for an S95.

I went to hawaii last week, and to me, all cameras are the same. So I walked into Best Buy, and bought the cheapest digital one they had.

It's a Samsung, and takes 14 megapixel pics, and it came with a memory card. It was on special for $95.

The pics came out just fine.

It's a real slim camera too. Fit right in my pocket.

I really like my panasonic lumix. The ability to attach different lenses on a relatively small camera is nice.

Go for a Canon Elph...Recommended to me by Mark, it has been great...Very small and compact, fits everywhere and anywhere, and takes great pics!

I've got one identical to the one below Mark. I've been really impressed with it. It's very compact and sleek. Quite a few people have commented that the quality seems to be better than their higher megapixel cameras.

Just to confuse you further, I'll say the Canon S90.

KT does look pretty good in her pics Mark. This might be the best choice.

Lol, based on that he should just get an iPhone.
