I'd say Canon is a good option. I just got my new Canon PowerShot SD850 IS for a few weeks, I think it is a great little convenient camera, which is able to be concealed easily, and taken about anywhere because it easily slips into a purse or pocket. Here is some more specs and reviews

It's also a great camera for taking indoor portraits with flash, as well as outdoor photos.
