I need a Small Digital Camera. I would like it to be small enough to fit in my pocket. It seems like everytime I go clubbing, my camera gets stolen. So I need a Cheap camera, just for the bar scene. I'm not to picky I would just like the images to be clear. Maybe a flash to. I'm not sure what all the mega pixels mean. I'm looking to spend between $50-$100, can anyone help me?

You can buy a Nikon L18

Right now it is sold out at most places. You can get around $90 bucks easily

Seeing as how you're going to be in dimly lit bars/clubs, and don't want to spend much, you're going to want to shoot for 6-8 megapixels; any of the high MP cameras are just going to produce really noisey images in your situation.

And while I'd normally recommend against Nikon's entry level cameras here, they may be your best bet for price and size. Another consideration is the Canon Powershot a470 - these can be found for about $75-$85 consistently ($75.20 @ JR with cashback). I'd say the Nikon L18 and the Powershot a470 are more or less equal; though I have a rather intense dislike for Nikon's entry level point and shoots (their DSLRs, however, are fantastic :) - probably not bar material though).

Alternatively, if you want something with significantly more quality (albeit at a higher cost), try to snag a Panasonic LZ8 ($123 @ J&R w/ ms cashback), or a Canon SD1100 ($141 @ JR with cashback, or $150 at newegg w/ free 4GB card and carrying case).
