Advice needed in slim camera

[pedro.m.reis]

Hi ppl.

I need an advice on the buy of a slim camera. Something like an Ixus L-1.
I need a small camera that cam fit on the shirt pocket. APS, Digital, 35mmm, etc, anything goes.

Any advices will be appreciated.

Thanks

I got my wife a Canon 450Sd for Christmas. Neat little camera (digital 5MP).

I just saw a Sony (Digital) t5 or t7 that looked pretty neat. Sorry I forgot the model number, but I'm certain that Amazon will have it.

Thanks ppl. Is the XA as small and slim like the ixus L-1 ??? I must do some googling...

The XA is not especially slim. But it is very good quality.

Probably the smallest existing 35mm camera.

The Olympus Mju II

I have one and I keep it in my pocket all the time.

If you do not mind autofocus, and want a wide-angle lens,

The Nikon Litetouch is thin, fits in an inner coat/vest pocket, and has a 28mm/3.5 lens.

Since you specified that APS was acceptable, try the Canon ELPH LT. Small, thin and very light compared to the XA's & Minox's mentioned above. Yes, it is APS, but I see the results my wife gets with hers and you would be impressed. If you do go this route, my wife has found that Kodak High Definition film at ASA 200 gives her the best results. Oh Yeah... this camera is still in production... the kit runs about $50.00 (USD).

it's hard to beat a Minox 35 GT or PL for small and light.. reliability is another issue, tho

Ok, thanks. I think i'll be looking for a Ixus or Oly Mju / XA.
Any one has some Ixus/APS shoots to show?
