I'm going for a vacation during this Raya holiday and I want to capture my moments during my holiday. As I don't have any camera at home, I would like to ask whether what is the best pocket camera. I prefer pocket camera compared to those big, big cameras because I think the cameras which are big in size are a hassle. So, any recommendations?

pocket camera?
better just use the camera that comes with your phone
always in your pocket, always with battery

Sad to say, I'm using nokia 3310 lol.

+1 Smartphone
Seriously if you're gonna use it for that occasion, it will just end up collecting dust in the long run.

Pocket camera=useless. Go get a micro four thirds. More worth it in terms of size

How's Canon S95?

LOL.

First define pocket (or pocket-able) camera
- some might say a ZX-1 or EX1 or G12 is still pocket-able)

Second product budget price range
- big big price range for these compacts...anywhere from $400 - $1700

Definition of best can be mis-leading. Some are good at some things but not all. depends on what you need it to be best at.




as per smart phone camera, even a cheap $400 camera will do better especially in more challenging light. Mobile phone camera only for emergency use. That goes for the Iphone 4, N8 etc....... Good but ...just

Agreed. Need to define pocketable first.. shirt pocket? jeans pocket? cargo pants pocket?

But on the $400 camera vs smartphone.. I don't think the difference is big enough to be noticed by the average point and shooter lo.

Advantage smartphone : Always there

Advantage $400 camera : Got zoom and stabilization.

ps: best-est (if there ever were such a thing) shirt/jeans pocketable camera --> S95.

vote for S95 as it is really pocketable ... and the quality from the camera is brilliant ...

Sanyo Xacti ca100 or cg100. Take hd video as well as good quality still photos with flash. Small enough to slip into your pocket. Waterproof (for ca100)

So is Canon S95 worth buying?

So many people bought the S95 so it must've worth it to them... then so many people bought other cameras too.

Anyway, my dua kupang for small camera:

Best camera :
--> the one you have with you. This is usually your phone.

Best shirt pocket camera:
--> Canon S95

If you need best video:
--> Sony HX9

Best cargo pants pocket camera:

--> Sony NEX with the 16mm lens

If you need zoom:
--> Olympus XZ-1

If you need video:
--> Panasonic LX5

It's already on sale but not sure where to get in local.

Get m43, can have fun with 50mm prime manual lens

Still confusing which to choose since there are too many suggestions. I want it to be handy and money-worth..

There's so many different models in the market because everyone have different needs/requirements and there isn't such a thing as a Super Camera that fits in the pocket. Else everyone bankrap di.
