Best credit card sized digital camera?

I'd like to purchase a digital camera for my dad's birthday. He's mentioned before that he likes those credit card sized cameras, so I've been reading the reviews on Casio and Panasonic but the image quality on those cameras just don't seem to beat Canon, although the sizes are much more slim.

Any recommendations? Thanks.

Nothing is really credit card sized, but I'll agree with the Canon SD1000. It's about as small as they come and it's a good camera.

Go for the Canon SD1000. It's pretty small, has 7MP, a 2.5" LCD, 3x zoom, AND an opitcal viewfinder. (And a good price :) )

Go to newegg.com they have really good deals for most electronics.


What you want to look for in a digital camera is a high mega pixel count and a high OPTICAL zoom (not digital zoom). The higher the better. You'll want to get him a beefed up flash card as well, most digital cameras come with almost no memory you want at least 1gb-4gb depending on how many pictures/videos you want to hold. Also don't forget to get him a big pack of batteries or some rechargables. Digital cameras will eat up the batteries.
