A digital camera that fits in a pocket of SF-approved jeans?

id recommend the casio ex-s10 it doesnt have image stabilization but it only has a 3x zoom on it so it doesnt really need it and its very very thin and looks nice also.

I have the SD 1100 and it is amazing. Kind of pricy at the moment, and not quite as compact as the 1000, but god I love this thing.

Actually, I found the SD1100 very nearly $100 cheaper than the SD1000 on Amazon. I'll see if I can convince a salesperson to let me stick an SD1000 in my pocket without the anti-theft dongle to 'try it on for size.'

I've heard these are great from people using the Leica versions of the same cameras. Can you recommend a Lumix model?

It's also a Casio, which means the build quality is atrocious and odds are good it'll brick on you in less than a year.

They've just released some new models, but I have not seen those yet. I bought a FX10 for my partner and that is pretty tiny already, but if you are willing to spend a little more, you can get even thinner cameras. i just love them because you really profit from the fantastic lenses they use.

Thanks everyone -- I picked up the Canon SD1100 IS. Bought from a local shop for ~$250, but it runs a little over $200 on Amazon. Amazing quality for the size, and the battery charger for it is pocketable as well. I was that close to buying the tiny Panasonic Lumix. Ultimately decided on the Canon because I committed the menus from my old P&S to muscle memory.

I was worried about this for a while but then I just said "*******" and bought a DSLR with a strap I can wear around my neck or stow in my bag as necessary.

I went this route as well. I just bought a DSLR a couple of days ago.
