I want something really really small. Smaller than the canon s100/110/200. It would be nice if it could take SD/mmc/smart media/compact flash. but its not that big of a deal i guess. the quality does not have to be superb...but it's be nice to have something decent. anyone have any suggestions?

canon elph for features + size. + uses cf mem, a big plus in my eyes.

sony has a tiny low mega pixel camera, its not a full feature camera by any means.

logitech i think has a credit card sized one....low res.

how small are your pockets that you cant carry around a digital elph.

It would be nice to have the option of wearing it around your neck to avoid camera searches at concerts and such too.

i saw some damn small digital cameras at comdex, but they were all under 1 megapixel... and about the size of a silver dollar

I'm looking for the same thing maybe....really small, ok quality, (..and under $100 for me).

There was a similar thread that might help here.

I want to be able take the thing snowbaording and mountain biking in my pocket without it bugging me at all. I also want to be able to wear it around my neck to avoid camera searches at concerts and stuff.

1 megapixel is ok for me....I have a nice camera if I want really good pictures.

i have the dimage x. it fits in my pocket well,and i dont even notice it.


i also have a canon s100 and you can definitely tell the difference because of the thiness in a pants pocket. maybe in a jacket it would make no difference, but for pants, the dimage is better

sony makes ones smaller than credit cards... i think. they really tiny, but the mp is only up to 2.0 mp.

its tiny, i saw one the other day. it looks like a nice thing to get, but i think ill stick with getting the p9.

Cool! Well i was thinking about

this SiPix camera but it has no flash and the quality of pics is probably just not good enough. It's tempting for $40 and the size but I think we can do better.

i was looking at the blink on thinkgeek...

but for a few bucks more, if i remember, you can get a aiptek pencam thing thats hardware 1.3mp

got one for my wife (tho in the fs/t forum)

nothin special or awesome about it, buts its just a little larger than a cigarette lighter, decent quality pics, not sure how many itll hold right now, think it does some slow video too
