Good slim camera?

[foad]

I am interested in getting a new slim camera. Form is as important as image quality.

I really like the form factor of the Casio Exilim S500 but have heard that the pictures it takes are noisy.

What recommendations do you lovely folks have as far as slim with good image quality goes?

Looking at 5MP+, $300-$450 price range, at least 3X optical zoom, point & shoot with some advanced features, and any other nice perks. I am using it for general use, like parties with friends and just good times which is why form factor is important.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks!

Foad-
You might want to look at the Fuji F-10. There is a review of the camera right on this website.

How slim do you want it to be? The Fuji F10 is not one of the slimmest around.

Canon SD450 and Fuji Z1 are worth to consider if they need to be "pocketable", the Z1 having the advantage of having a more sensitive/less noisy sensor, the Canon having the better lens and better flash.
