Anyone know of an old compact Digital with manual mode ?

[BADGER.BRAD]

Hello all,

Does anyone know of a compact digital with manual mode ? I'm looking for an older model 8MP or more that I can source through ebay so that I can carry it around on my cycling walking expeditions and not worry too much about it. Any ideas ?

Thanks all.

Have a look at the Panasonic LX range. I've had a couple. They have a manual mode and you can set everything and shoot hyoerfocally and instantly not worring about any delay while it meters and locks focus.

The old Canon models did, like the A650is and A720is, as did the Powershot models, starting from the PowerShot S90 iirc

Canon G series too. Built like tanks as well.

Some old compacts I've used and rated highly:

Canon G9 - has optical viewfinder and RAW
Panasonic LX1 - no viewfinder but has RAW

I've also managed to squeeze an E-M10II and Olympus 40-150 lens in my Carradice saddle bag:

For travel and weekends away, I'm still using my Nikon Coolpix P7100, 10.1 mp, and can be used in Aperture priority, shutter priority and full manual mode, should be a few on eBay

The old Canon S90/95/110 had manual mode. In fact they had all the usual Canon DSLR modes. Also shoot raw. I stil have my S110 that i take to gigs etc.

Depends how old you want, and what type of compact. You can still find the Sony HX60 and the Panasonic TZ70, both with a 30x zoom, on sale new, so there should be a few second-hand ones around at a more affordable price.

I always liked my Olympus XZ-1 I usually used it in aperture priority but the controls were nice too.
Shot in RAW usually but the jpegs are nice I have a Sony RX 100 iii and I miss the image stabilisation.

This any good? It's still available. (As recommended by Alf above.)
