There are tight-fitting jeans worn by fashion
models on the runways: no digital camera
will ever fit into any pockets on
those jeans!
But, if you wear comfortable, relaxed fit
jeans, and can easily slip your hands into
the front pockets, then a compact JeansPocket
Certified digital camera in one of the
front pocket can be carried more or less
comfortably all day without discomfort.
Dimensions for an ultra-compact model are
roughly (ideally): 3.5 (W) x 2.5 (H) x 1.0
(D) in. This year, we are only including
the ultra-compact models which are not usualy
more than 1 in. thick (or should we say,
thin).
Here is our list of best ultra-compact
digital cameras. It is by no means complete,
and we plan to keep it up-to-date as new
ultra-compact models come along.
