Compact digital buying advice

[charlie__p]

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and am looking for some advice!

I've just sold my DSLR because I just wasn't using it enough. I shoot with my film slr a lot but am wanting a compact digital too.

I really want something which I can use completely manually (part of what I enjoy so much about shooting film). I've seen some have shutter speed dials and aperture rings but that's not necessary (but a bonus) just something which is easy to use in a manual mode!

So many cameras have to ability to shoot manual but I don't want to be faffing around in the settings for hours for one photo, a dial and a couple of buttons will do me!

I want something small that will fit in my pocket, I am a keen cyclist and want to be able to take my camera out with me when I ride!

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hmm well, I think the best thing is to go and get your hands on some cameras. There are so many out there. I like the Fuji X20 but it has two newer models now.
