There's a big problem with this thread : the OP wants to spend a TINY amount of money AND wants something that fits in a pocket.

Does she have a great expression on every photo? Lucky you.

Wish it was. I handled one in Wilkinson's ... nicer than the A7 but not (yet) available for £400 used :( ... yet ... :) (For those who ever had one, it is a Panasonic G3 clone but bigger, which is a really great efficient shape!)

I think I've seen that video!

Seajay do you have the RAW?

You have more than enough, but I hardly use those first two and don't have any Nik so can't describe what they call the setting in them to get the look, hang on... ... oh "Edit my images = Yes", I might have a go but this compootah doesn't have much editing on it. This compootah has not the...
