I don't think Canon Powershot G9 is thin enough for Maverick0984 to fit in pocket. Sony DSCW100 may be a good choice, It features 8.1 Megapixel Effective Super HAD(TM) CCD Super HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCDs allow more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise / Up to 3,264 x 2,448 resolution still pictures and up to VGA 640x480 30 fps for movie imaging. And this model is thin, you can fit it in an average pocket. A recent price is $499 online, you can look up
