I have the Casio Exilim S100. You can find it for about $170. I like it because it has the fastest startup and fastest turnover time (being ready to take the next picture) of any digital camera. So I can have it out, on, and take a picture before whatever I want to take a picture of is gone/over. It has a bunch of presets in a cool format- you page through and it shows you a typical picture- portrait, flower, pet, sunset, twilight, night, party, so many I can't name them all. You can custom-set anything, and then if you like the result, save the settings. It's so cool. The size is wonderful. Credit card sized. Even in it's case it can fit in a pocket, but the lens has a built in cover so you don't have to carry the case if you don't want to.

Yes, I have a better, bigger, more complicated Olympus digital, but the Casio is just so little and cute and easy to deal with that it gets taken out all the time.

I found out about this camera when I found an earlier model in the woods when I was trail running. I put up a "found" sign for a month, but no one ever claimed it.

I carry it in it's tiny case in my aerobar bag- which is a mesh bag that hangs between my aerobars. Then it doesn't get jostled at all. Bu I've also carried it in my Bento box on the top tube. I think it's important to have it readily available, or else I don't bother stopping to take pictures.
