I have a Fugifilm FinePix F20 SE digital camera. It is a simple digital camera that costs around $ 300.00. It's small and lightweight about an inch thick, maybe 4 inches wide. It'll fit in your pocket. The features on it are great. It has this built in low light sensor that automatically adjusts the exposure so your subjects are visible even in the dark. It also has a very fast shutter speed so if you want to take a picture quickly, like for candid shots, its great for that. Also you can shoot your pictures in black and white and other color settings like select a color. It is a 6.3 MegaPixel camera. The images are quite clear, not grainy. Overall the Fugi FinePix F20 is a great compact digital camera.

It depends on how compact you want to go. After answering questions here for about 8 months, I finally decided to get a Canon Powershot SD900. I was going to go for the SD700-IS, but they were out of stock everywhere and it gave me time to re-think my purchase. This is going to be a pocket camera to use when I don't want to carry one of my SLR's with me, but I still want really great image quality from the camera. Anyhow, after months and months of reading reviews, the SD900 was my top choice. NATURALLY - since my camera has already shipped and arrives on Monday - I found a review in Popular Photography today that suggests that maybe the Pentax Optio A20 would be a better choice. But, I don't believe it. The Pentax does have shake reduction, but I doubt this will be necessary in a camera that only zooms to an equivalent of 114 mm and I just can not believe that 10 MP on a smaller 1/2.5" sensor will be better than 10 MP on a 1/1.8" sensor that is nearly twice as large.
Anyhow, go here to see the comparison article on 5 compact camera and see what you think if you doubt my choice. If you really don't want to read reviews, I am still happy that I am getting the Canon SD900 and this would be my recommendation for anyone at this point, since it is what I chose for myself. I ordered from B&H Photo and they have an interesting deal right now. There is a "Coach" edition that sold for $ 100 more than the regular camera before Christmas, but now it's the same price - $ 350. What is cool is that it include a Coach leather case for the camera and the regular edition doesn't have a case at all. I also bought a 5-year Mack warranty for $ 50. If you are even a little paranoid or clutzy, I feel that it is money well-spent. These are somewhat delicate compared to SLR's.

If you can accept a slightly larger camera, consider the Canon Powershot A640.
Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. The A640 appears quite similar and shares the "600" series numbering, so I guess it's just another upgraded version of the now-classic A620. It looks pretty much the same except for being a 10 MP camera.
I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon A630 or A640 for myself.
The A620 was rated about twice as good as any as far a battery life. I hope the A630 and A640 are just as good. Use Energizer e2 LITHIUM batteries and you will be happy with battery life.
With this camera, you will find the memory card is a cute little token of thanks from Canon, but not much more. Buy a 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera. The Ultra II would be excellent, but if you are really into video, you might prefer the faster Extreme III.

If you want a sleek, smaller camera that will easily fit in your pocket, consider the Canon Powershot SD600. It gives up some of the features of the A630 and 640, but at least it still has an optical viewfinder, which I consider to be essential.

If you want to trim the budget a little, the Canon Powershot A530 or A540, are both great choices. You will need a decent memory card, though. I'd say get at least 512 MB.
