Small camera - advice?

[The Old School JPS]

I'd like to buy a small, compact (pocket sized probably) camera. Does anyone have any tips or advice on what to buy, what to look for or where to look? Thanks!

I've had really good luck with the Sony W290. It's small enough for me to carry in my purse, but the photos have been
great. You can check it out on cnet.com. I bought mine through Crutchfield.com.

I have a Canon PowerShot SX110 IS. Very nice camera, not really a "pocket" camera, but small enough. It takes great pics.

I bought it at Best Buy. Here is the cnet review (http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-sx110-is/4505-6501_7-33240754.html).
