|  [Camera] Pocket Camera?
I'm looking for a smaller camera for when I don't want to bring out my DSLR and scare people..
Anyone know how the Casio Exilim cameras are? I'm looking at this one.

WA State | I bought a Canon SD500 about three weeks ago and, so far, it's a great little camera. About the same price range but a little thicker. |

The problems with some is the all metal body tends to slip in my hands when my hands get sweat on them.
I saw the Canon SD500 I would not want to go any thicker.

Sure takes nice shots though... |

WA State | Manual control is pretty limited. It's not a SLR by any stretch in that respect.
Some info here |

Have you thought about, though it won't be pretty, putting a rubber band or something sticky on the camera body to help keep your grip?

I have an leather strip that I knotted into a ball to help me grip my Sony T7.
Half of my shots are still blurry though. |
