As a former pro snapper I'm the sort of sad git who does a lot of research and testing before shelling out on a camera.
I've just bought one which meets my requirements. Flightbag or pocket friendly - 4 megapixel for the odd time you need that resolution and, bearing that in mind, a very good £ - resolution ratio.
Went for the Konica Digital Revio KD 400Z - not enough manual control for the creative photographer but a camera you never have an excuse not to carry with you. Rest of my shortlist available if of any help but really you need to be thinking what your requirements are rather than just garnering the opinions of others who lead a different life and do, quite naturally, like to justify their own choices.
