I prefer a big sensor but it has to be under 300 bucks. Don't need to long of a zoom but 3x would be ok. LCD rather than viewfinder but again, small so I can carry it around all the time.

Rugged is a plus.

All the pics will be for monitor use only so no need for super high resolution. Matter of fact, my old DSC-F717 took AWESOME pics at 5mp. So, something a little older is ok and would be cheaper. Nothing fancy but hopefully a manual mode.

Tilt or reticulating screen is a HUGE plus.

How about the Canon G12?  Good image quality, articlating screen, manual mode. Not the smallest but it is pants pocketable. I have this camera and I like it very much, it has produced some of my favorite travel photos.

I think  you will find that a tilt or  articulating screen will add bulk to any camera soi it's unlikely that you will find a shirt pocketable compact with this screen, at any price.

I would think that as a discontinued camera it would cost about $300 but this turns out not to be the case at the moment.

As  I write this, amazon is trying to get $799 for it, they have only one left, and b and h and adorama have discontinued it. So you may have to look for a while.

I am not sure why the price is so high at amazon now and why it is out of stock in two places. Perhaps scarcity is driving the price up? Very strange.
