Don’t buy into the hype of megapixels. YOu need to understand, there is a LOT more to picture quality than megapixels – for example shutter speed, aperture options etc.
Megapixels are something that a lot of manufacturers bump up to up the cost of their cameras – but believe me, if you’re a ‘point and shoot’ type, 6, 7, 8 MP is plenty – and it will save money so that you can buy a higher end camera with that number of megapixels, rather than a piece of junk with the 10-12 you were originally looking for.

Read the geek pages (gizmodo, engadget), search for megapixels and you’ll find a million articles talking about how NOT important MPs are above a certain point, unless you really want to be a professional photographer – in which case point and shoot is not what you want, nor is thin – you’ll want the biggest, most badass SLR you can find (lenses for those are commonly 1000+ for just the lens).

So you really need at least 10 or 12 megapixels, lolol. Sony DSC-W300.
13 megapixels, 3X optical zoom. You want very thin, so you can’t want a DSLR.
Canon SD880 IS. 4X optical zoom, 10 megapixels. More than 90% of point and shooters do not need 10 megapixels.
PS- I didn’t want to write a whole chapter but mitch b said it all.

The best is an SLR but they aren’t “thin”. I’d get an XS or XSi Canon Rebel. With a lens you really get more options. A zoom can only go so far but if you have a lens you can trade up for a different one.
