Title: Re: P&S Suggestions
I bought my wife a Sony Cybershot DSC-TX5 and she loves it when I let her use it.
I suppose they are still being made?
Features for me...
It has a sliding cover that protects the lens and flash when closed.
It fits easily into a shirt pocket EVEN in a case if you get one that fits snug. And is light enough not to drag your shirt down to your knees.
It shoots HD video
It shoots in several modes including twilight and Sweeping Panoramic and does it very well.
It shoots underwater as it is waterproof, freezeproof, dustproof and shockproof
I have found it to be remarkably durable Esp given that it comes on a lovely pinkish red colour.
(Part of the finish began to chip off the cover after my daughter took it to Hawaii.
  We sent it in and it was fixed and returned at no charge immediately.)
I’ve had the Canon G-series cameras before. They are significantly superior cameras but I always found them to by ever so slightly too big.
I just wanted something that you could carry around in your shirt pocket. This has been perfect.

This from a website review. Look it up on the one you trust the most.

The Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 is Sony’s first waterproof, freezeproof, dustproof and shockproof digital compact camera. The 10 megapixel TX5 features an “Exmor R” back-illuminated CMOS image sensor which promises to greatly improve low-light performance, resulting in cleaner images with less noise. Featuring a metal body, sliding front plate and folded lens optics, the super-slim Sony TX5 offers a 25-100mm equivalent 4x zoom lens, 3 inch touch-sensitive rear screen, Super SteadyShot optical image stabilisation, face and smile detection technology, ISO 3200 and intelligent scene recognition. The Sony TX5 also boasts continuous burst shooting up to 10 frames per second at full resolution, clever Sweep Panorama mode for extra-wide landscapes, and 1280x720 pixel 720p HD movie recording with stereo sound and HDMI output. Compatible with both SD(HC) and Memory Stick PRO Duo memory cards, the Sony TX5 camera is available in silver, black, pink, green, and red for around £330 / $350.
