I know some of you guys take awesome pictures and your cameras always seem to fit into your pockets. Im selling my camera and want a good picture taking camera that fits into my pocket. Preferrably a 2.4 lcd and better.

Anyone out there can help

I always buy Canon and their Digital Elph series is great. (The best night pictures I've seen by far too. The flash is amazing. And the picture is sharp, not grainy. Might as well be day time.) I've had 2 Digital Elphs. My old one was a PowerShot S330 (2 megapixel). My current one is a PowerShot SD450 (5 megapixel). I don't think they still make it though. The replacement for it is the 7 megapixel 700/1000 series which has subject-recognition auto-focus (the camera will detect the person in the shot and focus on them instead of just in the center). The reason I replaced the old one was because it eventually developed an over-brightness issue with the CCD which is probably repairable, but the cost of repair was 2/3 the price of a new one and a new one has a higher megapixel rating and used SD instead of CF so its faster and I use that type of memory in other devices. Overall, I'm very satisfied with Canon cameras. My father has an old Canon AE-1 35mm SLR and my ex-girlfriend as a Canon Digital Rebel SLR (I think its 7 or 10 megapixel).

Another vote for canon, though I have a little more overkill - rebel XT, don't think it'll fit in a pocket too well

I am also a big fan of Canon cameras - still have my AE-1 although it doesn't get much use these days.

In general though, it's the lens quality that makes the biggest difference in picture quality. That's why it's always best to stick with a brand known for cameras such as Canon, Nikon, Minolta, even Kodak. Computer companies (particularly HP) just don't have the same experience in cameras.

I've had two Canon Digital Elphs they are great point and shoots. I would highly recommend picking one up.

Definitely!
That is why really cheap cameras (and cell phones) like to harp on their megapixel rating so much. The lens tends to be tiny and lower quality. Which means crappy pictures.

Now you're making me feel old.

I'm trying to convince "she who must be obeyed" that I should get a Rebel XTi digital SLR because I can use all those auto-focus lenses I have for my EOS 35mm camera.

He bought it new in the mid/late 1970's too
