    Personally I would go for a more integrated approach and look to get a camera phone. I have the Sony Ericson K800i with built in 3mp digi cam. I DJ so I want the camera for the same reasons and I always have my phone on me. Ironically I have used it more for pictures of my neices and nephew rather than DJing.

    Edit...

    Also you wont need more than 3mp unless you are planning on blowing the pictures up to A2.

    No camera phone will produce the quality that a dedicated camera with a good lense can. There are decent - at best, lenses available with phones, but nothing I would even call 'good.'

    I would go with Olympus for a slim camera format. Olympus is very good with high quality, small cameras.

    I've had very good luck with Olympus cameras. I have two of them and they take very nice pics. JMHO.
