'best' pocket camera?

i´ve had many pocket film cameras, the best i´d say are the contax t3 and TVS.....but

...recently i traded some lenses for a sony rx100 II...i must admit it really shines, i´ve had a really good time with it!

Once i simplified all variables in camera, then it was easy to use!
 
For me it would be the Ricoh GR if it had a 45-ish equiv lens but it doesn't so it's not.
I like 28 but not as an only.

So, it's still my LX3..
Keep the ISO low and 13x19 prints are reasonable, especially in B&W. The lens is fast and requires very little stopping down ---just one stop is fine---and thus helps with that.
Have fun with your new camera, Joe.

...as the anticipation mounts, Joe paces back and forth in front of the door, waiting for the mail to arrive.

aye matey it arrived in the middle of a snowstorm, i had to drive 2 blocks to the postal station to pick it up...it looks new, has a nice heft to it...not as tiny as the canon 780 but then it affords a greater degree of control over it...i think carrying both might be a hoot, just plain fun to play with!!
 
I recently got a Canon MC30. Like it a lot as a pocket camera. Small, sturdy, closes completely and easy to find batteries. It's full auto but for the use I don't care.

Don't use digital in that role.
 
Really loving the thread. Everybody's talking about cameras I wish I had.
For my walking-around, film is an Olympus 35RC; digital is a Canon G9. I know there's some quality issues with the G9, but I've always had good luck shooting raw at lower iso (400 at the top end; 800 in a very extreme situation, 1600 if I'm going for that sand-painting look :cool:.
