Try a Canon Ixus model, even more limited (no 10x zoom), it gives very good quality images and fit easily in a pocket. I even did good photos at night time (like Cebu City landscape at night from Cebu tops).
I like it when traveling in the Philippines, because it's always in my pocket (so not visible) and easy to get to do a photo and put back in the pocket... I have also an external flash for it to do full night photos.
Reflex or bridge models can't be hidden like this... even doing better photos.
I have Pentax K10D if I need a better one, but it can't be use by everybody (the Ixus yes).
