Recommend A Small Camera?

[PinkTink63]

Can someone suggest a decent camera that is small. I am not a photographer and I don't like to lug stuff around. I would like something slim that takes a decent picture. Is there such a thing?

My wife has decided on a Canon 720IS.

She likes that it takes SD cards, uses AA batteries (which makes it easy to find more if you are in the parks and suddenly your battery dies), has a decent optical zoom (6x), is compact enough to carry around and easily put away to go on a ride, has a viewfinder so she doesn't have to rely on the LCD screen, and has decent megapixels (8MP).

I was looking at this one too! I just wondered if anyone on here actually has used it. I like that it has a view finder, because that is what I hate about the one I have now! I bought it a few years ago and it is really slim. I went to take some pictures at night and I couldn't see anything! Needless to say, my pictures didn't turn out very well!

I also need one that I'm able to get a picture of my son long jumping and crossing the finish line during a track meet.

I just got a sony cybershot and I really do like it alot.
I was going to do the Canon S3 but I am just starting out with digitals and I wanted something small and the S3 was just to big for me now.
So I went and looked around and actually fell in love with the camera for me to start out with.
I got it at Circuit city for 179.99 and other places were saling it for 229.99.

It is very little and I can put it in the case and just stick it in my purse and it hardly takes up any room.

I just bought a Power Shot S5Is and it's great we went to a WWE show and it took fantastic pictures. Can wait to use it at the World in a couple of months.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions! This gives me some to consider!

I just bought a Canon PowerShot Digital Elph SD 870 IS, and oooooh I love it!! Gorgeous, crisp, clear pictures- easy to use features, and the image stabilization makes SUCH a difference compared to other digitals I have used!

That's what I just bought and it arrived today. It's a bit heavier than I thought it would be but it is small enough to fit in a pocket. I've been experimenting with it and I think it'll be great. :
