Is the Canon A60 pocketable?

[tnitsuj]

Is the A60 small/light enough that you could comfortably carry it around in cargo pants/BDU's?

 

[BigKev]

Why ... are you planning on stealing one?

Jacket pocket, sure, not so much about cargo pocket.

Not really, the battery compartment sticks out quite a bit and it's quite heavy too. You could get the case for it which you loop your belt through, but you'll probably feel like a dick walking around with that.

havent used the camera, but when i read the title, i thought you were asking for AT experience in stealing

 

[tnitsuj]

No, I don't plan on stealing one.

Nah. You'd want to carry it in a camera case.

At my local apple store, I wanted to see if the A80 was pocketable. So I walk over to the display model, and put it in my pocket.

Few seconds later one of the sales associates taps my shoulders, and to make a long short, I ended up in jail for the night until I could clear things up.

Why not go into the store and put it in your pocket? Then find the pretties girl in the store point out the bulge in your pocket and tell her:" Hey, wana see my zoom?"

Yup, it will fit fine in your cargo pants. I have the A80, it's a tad bit on the heavy side, but not so bad.

A Canon S200/S230 would be a better fit.

I would NEVER carry a digicam in a pocket.

a60 is pretty big..

i have to completey empty out my purse just to fit it in w/o making a huge bulge or making it too heavy.

LJ has had it in his pocked before..so i guess it all depends on how comfortable you wanna be and how big your cargo pockets are...

no, it's not pocketable by my book. the s400 is barely pocketable I think. but i still love it for a p&s
