I need a bit of help here, basically I am looking to buy a very small and compact digital camera that I can easily carry in my shirt pocket without it being to bulky etc.
I would ideally like it to be of a decent spec as well, but compactness is my number one priority, and the camera would ideally be used for just general everyday photography (if there is such a category!).
I know that there are hundreds of compact digital cameras on the market but it is sometimes nice to hear first hand from peeps with their views and experiences of their compact cameras.
Thanks peeps for any pointers.

You don't state your budget, but the Canon S95 and its successor the S100 are worth a punt. I have the S95, which for its size is brilliant. http://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/s100.htm
I have a Panasonic Lumix TZ8 which fulfils my similar requirements. Small and compact, it's a couple of years old now, but takes superb images. You can have shutter priority, aperture priority and full manual control. Auto if you need it quickly. I would recommend any of the TZ range.
Well there's a co-incidence! http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-ke...
B. good value for money. PS One good tip, don't buy cheap batteries for it, they only last half as long!

Thanks also Willpower
Quote: Has anyone ever used Procamerashop.co.uk ? They have got very reasonably priced Canon S100 in stock but why the very low price?
Is this to good to be true?

I used them recently to buy a lens and would happily use them again. I did have one minor hiccup: I used Google Checkout, which I hadn't used before - and was a bit perturbed to get an email from PCS customer services saying I hadn't passed the credit fraud checks. A quick phone call to them soon sorted that out. The problem was with Google Checkout, and I suspect it was because I am ex-directory and choose not to be listed in the public Electoral Roll, so no easy way to check out my address. Anyway, they went ahead after the call and the lens was with me (timed, courier delivery) 2 days later.
I think that they sell grey imports, hence the low prices.
