I use a Canon PowerShot A620, which has full-manual modes. It's a bit big to put in your pocket, but somehow the size makes it feel more "solid," so I feel safer when I hold it. It's 7.1 megapixels, but I only take pictures on its M2 mode--2048X1536-- which works fine for me, because when I resize the pictures... I really don't see that much noise.
The viewfinder flips and rotates, so when I'm taking tricky angles I don't have to crouch undertables-- I just need to turn the viewfinger to my direction. It's relatively fast when it comes to turning on and taking pictures. I think it's around two seconds...? I've almost dropped this poor thing about eight times, and it's made impact twice. No dents or scratches, and it's fine.
The picture modes are pretty cool since you can do color-swapping. The macro is nice. There's also manual focus. I have't tried the video mode yet, but I'm pretty sure it has sound. The camera is relatively affordable. I think I got it for around $270. I think. Uh.
A friend of mine had the older version of that camera... I'm glad they slimmed it down @w@;. My old camera has a rotating lens and while it helped, I don't really miss it. The color-swapping and stuff looks really cool... but then I realize I would never use it because I like having true-to-life originals and do all of the fancy editing on my computer later (I don't even take black and white pictures when they're all I need--I take them in color then make them grayscale on my computer).
Although a lot of Canons are sold through Dell, which usually has some CRAZY coupons available, so it's veeeerry tempting @W@;;.

I found this camera via Digital Camera Resource Page. :o Hopefully this helped?
