I also have my iPhone and sometimes take quick shots with it to publish on Face Book or Twitter.
Briefly comment on what camera you might have selected as your “pocket” digital image taker.

Although it's not exactly a pocket camera, my trusty, old, Canon Pro-1, digital compact, still delivers very good images at ISOs 100-200, and is used regularly, especially when I want to include myself in the photo. It's swiveling LCD monitor has proven to be one of it's best features over the years. So much so, that the absence of this feature on Canon's otherwise excellent G10 was the deal breaker for me. I will very likely be buying the G11, since it does have the full swing-out LCD and retains the optical viewfinder of the G10, which for me, is the other must have on any camera I own, pocket sized or DSLR.
I bought an Olympus Tough 8000 as a pocket digital. It takes great pictures, (12mp) has lots of features, and is really tough and waterproof. Goes anywhere...Took it to Cancun and used it when snorkeling, and when hiking around the ruin on the Ycatan.
I am heavily invested (time and money) in shooting RAW and a Nikon workflow using Capture NX2 and PhotoMechanic. I wish Nikon made something as good as the Canon G11. Their P6000 has too many issues (battery life and slow capture) to invest in. Until Nikon makes a Canon G11 killer, I'll carry a D200 with a Tamron 18-270 as my walk-around kit. I save my heavy pro 2.8 lenses for serious shoots.
I have had the Canon G11 for more than a month now and find it excellent. I used the G9 and G10 prior to that as my backup and take-anywhere camera. Canon has improved low light shooting (and low noise)as well as improved dynamic range. Hard to beat.
