It depends on the size of your shirt pockets.

Careful, if it's too sharp it will cut through the pocket, practically
ruining the shirt.

Any major brand of shirt-pocketable camera should be sharp enough for the
purposes to which such a camera is likely to be put -- "sharpest" depends on
a number of other factors besides camera model, and is not necessarily what
should be the most important factor to the buyer anyway.

Check your local stores (including Wal-Mart, which generally has a nice
selection and at very good prices) to see which camera models you like the
size and feel of. Then look up reviews of those models on some site such as
www.steves-digicams.com or www.dpreview.com to see what they have to say
about them. The reviews may seem quite complex to you and contain far more
information than you feel able or willing to absorb, but that is the nature
of digital cameras.

If you don't want to be bothered reading the reviews, then just pick any
major brand of camera (Nikon, Canon, Kodak, etc.) that you like the looks
and feel of and buy that. It will probably give you perfect satisfaction at
least until such time as you know more about digital cameras and have formed
some definite ideas about what you want in such a camera.

Avoid Olympus and Fujifilm models -- not because there's anything wrong with
those brands, but because they use the goofy xD-Picture card which is not
what you want. *Any* other major brand will use the SD card that you do
want.

[re high quality image from an ultra compact camera that uses SD]
Kind of a broad question, but the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30 is one to
consider:

This is one of the few compact models that offers image stabilization, and
it will make use of your SD card.

What about Sony and their 'goofy' Memory Sticks?

Per Steve B:

That's how Sony has talked me out of several purchases of Sony
products - even after memories of the computer security intrusion
thing died out.

Sony's M(emoryprotection) S(cheme) flash memory was always avoided
by knowledgeable camera owners. xD cards weren't nearly as bad,
but even if one wants to avoid them, it's not necessary to avoid all
Olympus and Fuji cameras, since several models have long been
available that used dual cards. Some (especially older models) also
use CF cards, but some of the newer ones can also use SD cards. So
with them, there's no reason to ever have to buy an xD card.

Hello,

My Kodak V603 is very pocketable and attractive. Its 6 megapixel
resolution and 3x optical zoom both contribute to the quality
of its photos, which I find rather pleasing to view, both on my
monitor screen and in Wal-Mart prints.

(By the way, the vast majority of today's compact cameras use SD
cards.)

Good luck!


Cordially,
John Turco

Greetings ASDF3B,

I just gave my Girlfriend a V603 and she loves it. She is a non technical
woman but with discriminating taste (she is with me after all). She does
like the camera and it does an excellent job with sharpness and detail. She
could not be more happy. I have found the images to be excellent as well.
Panoramic feature is pretty cool too.

The camera I am looking at for myself is the V705. Lots of features and it
has internal lenses - 5X optical zoom without extending a lens. Can fit in
your pocket no matter what.

Talk to you later.
