What POCKET digital camera has the highest optical zoom?

I want to buy a new digital camera and I want to know which pocket-sized camera (one you could actually fit into a shirt or pant pocket without sticking out too much, and one that is not super heavy) has the highest optical zoom on the market right now. Please include the link to the product description. Thank you.

So far I'm leaning towards Nikon S10, it's the only ultra-compact with 10x zoom and image stabilizer. Anything better out there? Any reasons to decide against this one?

Kodak V610 - 38-380 mm
Nikon Coolpix S10 - 38-380 mm
Ricoh Caplio R5 - 28-200 mm
Ricoh Caplio R6 - 28-200 mm
Samsung L77 - 38-266 mm

Read the dimensions at the bottom of each column. The Kodak, Ricoh and Samsung seem to be the slimmest. BE CAREFUL about putting a camera in your pants pocket, though. They are not meant to be sat on in a back pocket or flexed in a front pocket. Be sure that you have NOTHING else in the pocket to bump into the switches or scratch the camera. If the lens tries to extend in your pocket, your camera will break. I don't think it's a great camera, but I think the Kodak is the best one for sticking in a pocket as the zoom lens does not extend from the body, so there is less risk of damage.

Great! Now stop talking to ME and get out there and BUY one! Report It
