I'm looking for a subcompact camera, a pocket camera.
I don't intend to "create memorable images" or take portraits, just want
something I can "whip" out of the pocket and take a snapshot. Preferably
not over $250. I had a Canon Powershot SD 780 that served me well but I
dropped it...disastrously. :-(
*small* is the key word here.
Any recommendations?

The wife has a Nikon S6300 - fills the bill quite nicely.

I have a recent ancestor of these Panasonics:

Note the "tough features" near the bottom of the chart.


Tempting but just a little bit bigger than what I'm looking for.

Thanks
