    What is your carry around compact camera?

    I have been looking for a compact camera to carry around with me all of the time. I have become spoiled with the quality of pictures my slr gives me and am leary about which compact to choose. I have seen 11x14 blow ups from the panasonic lumix dmc-zs9 and they are very impressive, although I grew up a canon child, so it is hard to switch.
    Everyone, I was curious, what is your carry around all the time compact camera?
    Hows the quality of photos in everything from macro to full zoom?
    Thanks,
    naturac

    Personally, I use a Canon PowerShot S100 as a bring-everywhere camera. I upgraded from the S95 (which now lives in my wife's purse). My main criteria were getting the largest possible sensor in a camera size that could fit in a pocket (a regular shorts/pants pocket, not cargo pants or a coat), and the ability to shoot in RAW. That narrowed the field down to pretty much the camera I chose. I'm quite happy with the IQ of the S100.

    Canon Power shot S95, no contest (except maybe S100)

    I got a Panasonic TZ5 for my honeymoon in 2008. I endorse its performance as a point and shoot. That series of camera is now called ZS (not TZ, which stood for travel zoom).
