That's what I loved about the old Optio: it was certainly "pocketable,"
and took decent images for its time and price.
I just sold my Optio S at a camera sell/swap meet. It was still going strong
after many years but I hadn't used it in a while after getting a less basic,
more versatile Nikon Coolpix 7100, its pocketable if you have somewhat
bigger pockets.

It finally died about a year ago.

So what I'd like is pocketable and with the "feel" of an old school
film camera. That is, simple ergonomics. Simple interface, with
buttons and dials for the important most-used functions. I need
reading glasses to see closeup and I prefer devices I can work largely
by feel. Best if it has a viewfinder. Willing to consider EVF if I can
see it in the flesh and it convinces me.
I'd be okay with a fixed lens, but it would have to be a normal. 50mm
FF equiv. Subjects would often be landscape features, and the wide
lenses on smartphones just drive me nuts.
As a fellow Pentax user, what compact camera like this would you
recommend?
If you have big pockets, the Fuji T-T2 with the 35mm lens would be an
excellent choice.
