What's a good choice in a thin/cheap digital camera?

[stephen]

I'm looking for something not too fancy, not so expensive I have to worry about it constantly, but that's really thin and takes nice pictures.

I have a 5MP Nikon 5400 and a 4 MP Canon S40 for my "good" pictures.

This is more of a knockaround camera, when I don't want all the bulk of those.

iPhoto compatibility is important too.

Pentax Optio S. The wife loves it because it fins inside of an Altoids Tin. I like it because it's cheap and takes really good pictures for the size and price, and takes a beating too.

Altoids Tin? Yikes that is small.

those canon digital elphs are nice. Think they capture video as well.

Thin and cheap don't really go together.

Casio Exilim S600 is super thin, but not especially cheap.

We have both the Optio S and a couple of Canon ELPHs in our family. Although the diminutive size of the Optio is great, I don't like the UI...totally nonintuitive. The ELPHs are much better and also have better picture quality. Try picking up a recently discontinued ELPH. I bought my son an SD200 for around $150 just as it was being replaced by a newer version.

A friend of mine has a slim Samsung 5MP that takes decent pictures. I don't know the model nr. though.
