I like to carry a point and shoot in each pocket. My favorites 
(non-zoom) are:
 
 Leica Mini3
 Minilux
 Olympus XA
 Minox 35 GT
 Olympus Trip 35
 
For the $150 range, the Mini3 is a gem, but alas it is no longer 
produced. The 32mm lens is amazing, and though it has significant 
light-falloff at the edges, it makes a great p&s. I highly recommend it, 
if you can find one.
