I know there aren't too many out there, but the Leica D-Lux 3 is my pocket p&s. Auto focus, aperture-priority auto-exp., zoom and shoot is all you do. I wear it on a lanyard around my neck the way others wear an iPod (my Nano is in my pocket).
Completely reliable and totally discreet.

I got a Stylus Epic just last week. I wanted something small (and cheap) to shove in my pocket, but didn't want digital. I like it so far.

My Lomo LC-a and Olympus Epic do all the point and shooting.

Outstanding! There are so many things to like about this, and even the lens's "defects" contribute to the strange feeling. Beyond the snapshot the camera was made for...

I shoot a Stylus Epic and an XA2, usually with HP5 or Neopan 400, or high speed colour films.
This is from the XA2.

Until I just got this Canon S90 for Yule, I had been making due with a second hand SD700IS point and shoot. Always have been pretty happy with the snaps when I had lots of light, but it suffered greatly in available darkness (prompting my desire for this S90!)
Still, it has been a fine camera when i couldn't (or didn't want to) carry an SLR. I have now given it to my wife to play with. She has almost NO interest in photography, so it will more than meet her wants.

Hi there.. I dont have many posts here, but this was shot with a Canon Powershot A620 in A-mode.. I hade to stand there like a fool for several seconds before the camera had focused and shutterlag had finished.. But I got the shot
Now I shoot with a Panasonic LX3 instead, P-mode, the zoom at 28mm and manual foucs set to like 2-3 meters. Works for everything as I dont really care about sharpness anymore. Im going for storytelling instead

I have been using a Minolta AF-C. It is a great little gem which has a fast 2.8 lens and equipped with autofocus.

I really like this one. I am glad to see that you are having success with the Minolta AF-C. It is one of my favorite P&S cameras.

I gave away my last film P&S. I now use a Lumix TZ3. Excellent lens, but very little manual control, but that what makes it a P&S!

I have a Bessa L w/o a finder or a rangefinder. Does that count? It's more like a point and hope. Surprisingly it's worked out pretty well.
Here's a shot from it w/ a 50 Leica collapsible.

I shoot a Nikon Lite*Touch AF. It has a 28mm/3.5, fits in your pocket (smaller than Stylus) and is pretty sharp. The picture below was Legacy Pro 100 (Acros) in 1:50 Rodinal.

There is/was a guy on eBay selling refurb Stylus Epic Zooms (38-115mm) with a battery for $15 shipped. I got mine today and am quickly going through a roll to try it out. The lens is a bit slow, but hey, you get what you pay for. (f/4.6-10.9). It also looks ridiculously phallic when you extend the zoom all the way.

Not so new now.
Hah, you should see my Olympus Stylus Zoom 140.

For digital I shoot the Panasonic LX3 and the Sigma DP2 - but I have the option of exercising lots of control with these two.
So I will be like the 7th vote in this thread for the Yashica T4. I bought this camera new and it is the only bit of photo gear I own that has actually increased in value. Not that it matters; I'm not selling. The T4 has been all over the world with me - great little camera.
