True! - Even if I have to buy it for myself!  (I'm looking at a small "always carry" camera.  Maybe something like the Canon DS450, or Fijifilm Z2.)

So many toys, So little time and so little money.

I have a Cannon PowerShot S410 (discontinued) Digital Elph. It's small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and the battery seems to last a long time. If you can find one NOS you may get a great price for it.

I'm still shopping.  The 450 looks nice, but I wonder about the low light ability.  The one I picked up in the store must have been set for ISO 100 and I couldn't find the ISO setting.  Very slow shutter even in the bright store. 

So many toys, So little time and so little money.

The Cannon menu is somewhat cryptic on those pocket cameras. The Elph is now my backup digital since I got the Minolta M7D.

It actually crossed my mind to get myself an "always carry" digital camera (other than my cell phone, of course), but it's hard to pick just one!  There are a lot of nice ones out there. When you make up your mind, let me know. Maybe I'll follow your example!
