I want to buy this camera to take with me while hiking. Will it fit in my jacket/pants pocket or will I have to stash it in my pack?

definitely small enough for a jacket pocket. pants just depends on how "loose" the pockets are. Good camera. Easy to use. I used it in Italy without any "practice" at home without any trouble!

Not a normal pants pocket. It can fit in a coat pocket or cargo pants pocket. It is a great camera and worth the extra size.

2 5/16" tall x 4.0" wide x 1.25" deep Great camera Fit in pants pocket - yesFit in shirt pocket - yes but it would be heavy and could fall out

It's about a foot or less all folded up. It's not very sturdy, so placing a DSLR on it is questionable. A pocket camera shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, it will fit in the short bottom pocket on the right side of the pack, the long pocket on the left side, or in the large inside zippered pocket. (The outside pocket works best for me).

It comes with a pouch but with it, it is a bit clumsy. You can put it in the side pocket without the pouch. That's what I do. And it depends on the size of your side pocket. Otherwise it is one hell of a camera.

I can put a Nikon 80-200 f2D in one of the side pockets. A 35-70 on the camera in the sling and an SB-800 Speed Light and some other goodies in the other side pocket.

It's not really a pocket it's more of a divider and it mesh so I wouldn't put my pictures loosen in there like that. Hope that answers your question.

It is small enough to stick in your back pocket with no problem. Just remember not to sit on the camera and crush it. They don't come any smaller. I don't have the actual sizes in front of me but it is "VERY" compact. You will be happy.

You can find the actual thickness on Nikon's website, but realistically it's absolutely "pocketable". I've put it in the inside pocket of a suit jacket, front or back pocket of jeans, dress pants, etc. It's certainly thicker than a cell phone, so you'll know it's there, but very manageable. I've never had issues taking it somewhere because of it's size. Certainly the best quality in the amount of space it occupies.

Don't know why anyone would describe the A590IS as bulky.A little thicker than most compacts, but not enough to preventme from carrying it in a jacket pocket.If anything....it's too small. I prefer the super zooms (fuji s700, etc.)But if you are looking for a great compact (with a viewfinder)to carry around in your pocket...this is it.

Despite my purchase, I'm the wrong guy to be asking. I'm sure it's a good, versatile camera. But I was deluded as to size. I wanted something that would slip in my pocket -- this is too cumbersome to do so. I am neither recommending nor not recommending. Good luck.

I am not that knowledgeable about all the different cameras. I have a Sony 350 Camera with a good size lens in it and it fills the bag. There are three zipper pockets on the outside of the bag but I don't think you can fit much in them. I use them for my car keys, I.D. and a little cash when I am out taking pictures.

The camera is about 3 1/2 inches wide by 2 1/4 inches tall by 1 1/8 thick. It's not very big but it packs a punch for what it can do. The camera easily fits in a man's pants pocket or a woman's purse. I hope this helps!

Yes, I pack a camera case that holds a full frame camera and a couple of lenses and still have room for light coat, rain coat, and snacks. These are compressible small coats but the compartments are versatile enough to handle what you are talking about. It has been more than enough for day hikes.

There is a small Strap that fits on the side of the camera. It fits around your hand. This is a great camera but in your pocket carried anywhere is great! And I love the Greggtex said it takes also enjoy

Mine is in my motorcycle saddlebags so for me carrying is not a problem. If your hiking gear includes a backpack you'll be fine. Being discrete will all depend on what you have to carry it in.
