Nope, it's even a marketing ploy by them....what is more likely to be stolen a 'camera case' or an Altoids tin should you forget your camera.
Also price is a big factor in this....I had a Canon A50, probaby pic one up cheap now...1.3MP and the original 'elph'....a pocket camera still, but a bit larger than some now.
I am using a A70 now, still pretty small.
The Canon S230 is an overlooked ultra compact and should come at a decent price.
Your budget really determines the options as more $$$ always equals better however each dollar buys diminishing returns. I am happy in the $150-200 range, what I did was buy my starter camera when it was entering the used market at that price point low, and then sold high a couple years later and made my next digicam purchase a $100 net cost (Christmas had a $50 rebate so it would have been a $150 purchase without it).
Good luck
