[revhtree Verified Admin]

Ok I am looking for a good walking around camera to put in my pocket whil on vacation. Any ideas? I am also opt for a water proof one as well to stick in tne tank! LOL! I mean for pool pics of my daughter. :D

The canon power shots are great bang for the buck, while working at circuit city i got alot of use from them, awsome lil cameras

I have the Canon powershot D10.

I like it for around the house, and the tank. But it doesn't have a lense cap. I HATE that part about it.
So I am looking into a nice premium point and shoot for when the baby gets here. One with a lense cap preferrably:baffle:

I've been asking myself the same question, here is a pretty good review of some that fit your question

My shove-it-in-my-pocket, walk around camera is a Canon SD1100 IS. I think all of Canon's small P&S cameras are well built and an excellent value. Here's one shot with my SD 1100.

our new walk around pocket digital is the powershot SX200. i really like it. takes great pictures and is very compact. i got the SLR's but to walk around for everyday use they are not practical. for those times where a pro type shot is not the goal but i still want great pictures it is great to be able to toss it in my pocket and go.

i second that gary. I got a SD1200is for under 200 the other day, and its fantastic for what it is.

Great exposure, slow sync flash, facial recognition, IS, etc...nice little camera

if it is going to be a travel only camera it is important to pay attention to the battery type. make sure to get one that takes regular batteries. it is great not having to worry about if the battery is charged or not. pop in some new AA's and your off

x2... I have this same camera and love it. My wife hasn't managed to destroy it by tossing it around in her purse yet, either.
