Best pocket camera under $200?
I've got my big fancy dslr, but sometimes it's too big to lug around. I'm wanting to get a tiny pocket sized camera that I can take in my bike jersey pocket, or purse. I was looking at the Nikon Coolpix as one, but it has mixed reviews. And other sites all say the quality of cameras under $200 is not good, but there has to be a decent one out there! I know the quality will not match my dslr, but I want one that is good at zoom, good with focus and doesn't take forever to recharge after flash. And a cool color (not silver) would be a bonus!
Any suggestions??

Re: Best pocket camera under $200?
I have a Canon G9, I'm not sure exactly how much it was, probably a bit more than $200, but it's fairly compact (certainly a lot more so than DSLRs) and it's a great camera all round really, especially for macro photos, which I do a lot of. :)
EDIT: Just had a look around, and it seems the price has gone up. Nearer $400 wherever I can see it now. I got mine a few months ago for about £120 ($240 roughly). Sorry, I wasn't of much use. :(
