digital camera help
I thought I would ask your guru which digital camera i should get.
And why.
It should be pocketable and take nice pics. Shouldn't cost a fortune. Preferably smaller than my Treo phone.
Also it would be nice if I could get it in bestbuy or circuitcity because I would like to pick it up in the next day or so.
Probably use it mostly for parties or bar pics.
Thanks in advance.

Mine is bigger than what you want, but I suggest the Canon family.

Fuji has always been good to me. This is my 2nd Fuji digital camera
... it's slightly bigger than an altoids box, and yes - it comes in other colors besides pink

I've had a Casio Exilim for a few years. It has a ton of features and a huge screen, but can fit in a pocket. It takes awesome pictures.

I too have a Casio Exilim and have been totally impressed with it. My boyfriend teased me when I first got it, saying, "Doesn't Casio make calculators?" but even he has been won over. The battery life is awesome (I only went through half of the battery life while taking more than 300 photos over three weeks in Greece), the LCD screen is huge, and the photo quality has been great. It also comes with about 20 different "wizards" for different photo scenarios.
I would look at Costco if there's one close to you, too. I won't buy electronics/computers from Best Buy anymore because their warranty and repair service stinks! Costco at least has a generous return policy.

Someone talk me down off the Buyer's remorse ledge.
I bought this one: http://circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=175897
Only in silver not blue.
I went for the 150 dollar Sony cybershot that people recomended. They talked me into the 200 dollar Cybershot upgrade and then didn't have any of them.
So I ended up buying the still more expensive Olympus 760.
It was either that or this cannon : http://circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=174591
Sigh. I went out to spend 150 and ended up spending over 300 dollars . . sheez. I'll probably lose it. I only bought it for bar and party shots.
ETA: My thanks for the input everyone.

You know, you can always return it if you think it's too much.

Return? I don't think I've ever returned anything before . . .

You'll be sorry you didn't get the Graflex I posted above. The little thing that you hold the gunpower in to make a flash is on sale this month...
Seriously, most of the digital cameras I've seen work pretty well.
We have a Cannon A630 now and it's pretty good.
We had a Sony in the past and were pleased with it as well.
Good luck with the new toy -- I'm sure it will be just fine.
