Thinnest, smallest digi camera

title says it all. I'm looking for the slimmest camera out there. Something I can put in my pocket and not know its there.

TIA
 
Something like the Sony T9 or T7 would be the thinest. You could argue that something like the Canon 450 is smaller though due to smaller height and length
 
The SD450 is on .02" thicker than the Sony T9, so I don't think that's a factor at all.

SD450 - 2.11Hx3.39Wx.85D
Sony T9 - 2.17Hx3.57Wx.83D

The T7 is .6" so it definite wins for thinness. However, the PQ is not nearly as good.
 
If you can still find the Sony Qualia 016, it's only 2.7 x 0.9 x 0.7 in in size. Probably the smallest "proper" camera you can get.
 
The Casio S600 is 90 x 59 x 16 mm (3.5 x 2.3 x 0.6 in) weighing at 155 g (5.5 oz).
The Sony T-9 is 90 x 55 x 21 mm (3.5 x 2.2 x 0.8 in) weighing at 185 g (6.5 oz).
 
Most all of these are so similar that you most likely could put all of them, one at a time, in your shirt pocket and not be able to tell which was which. The bigger question would be - which takes the best pictures?

Thats what I was thinking too.

My advice is go to a Staples or Best Buy and look at them. You'll see they have many cameras smaller than a deck of cards. Get a feel for them but dont buy. Just look at model numbers and prices and go online to find them cheaper. It would also be good research them a little.

I'd pick any Sony model with a Carl Zeiss lens. Have had two and they both took great pictures. The DSC-P50 (ancient by todays standards, but still takes good photos) and the F-717.
I think you can get that lens in a slim-line camera.

The latest sony models(the ultracompacts only) are horrid indoors. Look at a Ultra-compact Nikon, Canon, Fuji, Panasonic, or Casio. Most importantly read the reviews.
