i've been thinking about getting one of those slim, compact digital cameras just to bring with me to shows or when i'm just hanging out with friends. i'd like one that takes compact flash memory cards since i have a whole bunch of them left over from my newly-retired camera. my parents got me a sweet new camera for my bday.. big and expensive, not really ideal for just goofing around. thanks!

With the price of memory cards in general going down rapidly, that shouldn't be much of a factor. Get whatever you like, and just buy the memory if necessary—but from a cheap Internet source, not a camera store.

The Fuji F30 looks like a nice camera. A friend of mine bought one and really likes it. It takes xD memory cards though so you won't be able to reuse your old CF cards. It's pretty rare to find compact cameras that take CF these days.

I just got a Ricoh R5. Its sweet.

Small and compact, 7x zoom!, image stabilizer, 7mp, really good macro. And it all fits into your pocket. The only downside its it sometimes takes bad low light photos cos the flash isnt that great. But its a small trade off
