Spy Lens Canon
best pocket camera?

so i own a Canon EOS 30D with 18mm-to-55mm lens right now. and im wanting a pocket camera so i dont have to carry a big ass camera like that everywhere. especially to school. since im taking photography, at school, and im really into photography. but there are times where u spy a perfect and beautifuly lighted thing or place and then you dont have a camera to catch it. im as ppl say a camera whore. sooo do you guys have any good quality, small, pocket sized camera that you guys would recommand? im got my eye on the cannon power shot. though not sure. and i have checked and compared the cameras online. though there are to many for me to choose(im an awful decision maker).and the money and price wont mater to me.so yeah.

I think the portability of a compact camera is definitely what you need. Since you already have the 30D…then Canon is a good brand to stick with.
I also recommend the Canon SD700 IS (I have one) It has optical image stabilisation, a 173,000 pixel LCD (which looks great), very good photo quality and is so compact & fun to use…and looks very stylish in an almost all metal body . It’s only downside is it’s lack of aperture & shutter priority.
The main reason I didn’t choose the next model up (SD800 IS) is because it’s promoted wide-angle is not good enough to warrant getting it.
Choose the SD900 only if you want 10MP and a slightly higher res. LCD, but no image stabiliser.

Another very good compact camera, especially using high ISO (handheld, without flash) is the Fujifilm Finepix F30.
It’s the one to get if you do a lot of low-light shooting. It’s main downside is it’s lack of a histogram and optical viewfinder…but it’s got aperture or shutter priority (but not both at the same time-doh!) and has an amazing battery life of up to 580 shots!

Or if you don’t mind a slightly bigger camera (but still smallish enough) then I would recommend either the Canon A630 or A640, which have aperture & shutter priority if you need it…and the very handy, vari-angle (flip out & twist) LCD. Their only downside is their low resolution 115,000 pixel LCD.
