Can this camera be carried in a pocket?

I've heard from some that this is a pocket camera, but others say it's too bulky for a pocket. I'd like to get some more opinions concerning the pocketabilty of the LX3.

Yes- It fits in a man's shirt pocket, or a regular jeans pocket easily. It is 1 5/8 inches at its thickest spots, and overall dimensions are 4 inches long and 2 1/4 inches wide. (A little larger than a card deck because of its depth and length).

No- It does not easily fit in the pockets of some women's clothing, however. My daughter considers it to be too big for her pockets (junior size clothing). I consider it to be a great "little" camera that I slip into my very small purse or my pants pockets. My daughter considers it to be a little on the heavy side for carrying everywhere. I consider it to be lightweight, and appreciate the fact that the weight probably indicates metal innards. ;-)

The bigger concern that I would have, if considering buying it, is that it uses a rechargeable 3.7 V Panasonic battery pack, and battery packs can be expensive.
