I'm a cheapskate that likes a camera that takes AA batteries and offers different exposure modes, a reasonably long zoom and some modicum of control. Nowadays, I'm using a Canon SX150 ... fairly large and heavy for a pocket camera, but only about $90.

There are lighter and smaller cameras with the same features, but to me, the question is binary. Is it small enough and light enough to reasonably fit in a jersey pocket? If the answer is yes, it's light enough and small enough, and I'm unwilling to pay a lot more $ for a camera that is marginally smaller and lighter.
