    Im looking to buy a digital camera for holidays this summer, im sick and tired of my phone camera!!!

    Im lookin for a basic 3 or 4 megapixel, cheap and most importantly SMALL one!

    I aint no professional photographer, I just want one that'll fit in my pocket without too much discomfort... :D

    I hear Canon are good for the small cameras but any suggestions on models or other brands that would do the job for me would be greatly appreciated... thanks

    I am thinking of changing my phone to a SE K800i or an N73. Both have 3.2mp camera with flash. I would prefer the convenience of having to only carry one device i.e. a phone but this may not suit someone who requires a better quality stand alone camera. Personally I would tend to use the camera on a phone alot more than having the hassle of carring a camera too. Just an idea...

    Casio cameras are usually very good and relatively reasonable to buy

    That Traveler camera is actually a fantastic little camera that takes a lovely photograph. A relative of mine bought it and it is a really good buy.

    theres loads of choice of (ultra) compact digital cameras

    In my experience, the best picture quality is from the canons (low noise/great colours), if your happy with 2-4mp you could look at getting an older model. something like the ixus s400 was a great camera (bit fatter than newer canons though), the pentax s4(i) or other pentax in that range are very small, i still use my s4, the dimage xt & the sony t5 always looked good to me too

    personally i'd would stay away from the budget brands, aldi/lidl cameras

    i have the k800i, it's great, but picture quality from the above 2 year old canon/pentax are still a good deal better, plus you have a 3x optical zoom

    if i was buying a compact camera today, i'd be looking at the kodak v610, almost bought one a month ago

    went for a bigger camera, panasonic fz7 which i managed to find on ebay for like e240 with 2gb memory card

    if you check the photography forum, you'll also see some recommended cameras for all price ranges in the sticky
