I have an old Olympus digital camera, 3.2 MP and 10x optical zoom. However I sorta want a new one because my camera phone is the same MP as my digital camera, also I want a smaller one because my old camera is huge. I would like one that I could carry in my pocket easily, and one that isnt too expensive. Can any of you help me finding one?

i used a canon powershot a650 is for awhile, it has decent image quality and has a decent macro on it as well.
its 12.0 MP and has a 6x optical. The rotate-able LCD screen also helped me take some photos at interesting low angles.
It retails for about $300.00 check it out

It looks a bit big, I want a small thin one that can fit into my pocket.

If you want any more then 3x or 5x optical zoom it's probably going to have to be a bit bigger then what you want.

Sony has some decent cameras that are really slim though, here are two links, hope it helps.
