I have a pocketable  camera that will never go in the pocket without a case. Actually  it can  fit in the pocket with the case on but is then an uncomfortable bulge. Dirt and fear of damaging the lens cover blades is my reasoning. My power shots are getting quite old and I have been waiting for something to replace them for some time. Not very much in the compact sphere appeals to me these days  for several reasons.  No viewfinder is a HUGE deal breaker for me. No reach  with a decent size sensor is another. The third is the cost of a camera without those two features doesn't make sense to me. So ---- I am looking seriously at an M50. Quite small, has a viewfinder and  possibly  pocketable with just a body cap. I am just waiting for a probable successor as it is over 2 yrs  in the marketplace now. But if it looks like that isn't happening in a few months I may just get it anyway.
