Compact for the wife

[Bobby uk]

Hi guys any first hand good experience and ideas for a compact for the wife for around £300? Tried to convince her to get a little dlsr but she is adamant on a compact although she might stretch to a small bridge. Ideas would be great. Thanks

Just come clean and admit you are wanting to buy a compact. The camera for the 'wife' has been used far to many times in threads on here!

Seems like a fair swap, but need Photo to see what we`re getting.

The answers are the same as we give every day for the same request: Fujifilm XQ2 or X30 if you can find them, Sony RX100 I or II, Panasonic LX100 if you can find a used one.

As someone has just recommended me the same thing have a look at this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-Sony-Cy...c&clk_rvr_id=1052015514671&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true

My wife uses a Panasonic TZ70. She takes it everywhere and says she needs nothing more. Her pictures are always sharp and well exposed. It's more reliable than its main competitor, the Sony HX90. I know this for a fact as my wife has owned hers much longer than I've owned the Sony and hers has never broken down, whereas my Sony is currently away having its lens fixed.

X30 unless it needs to be pocketable.

My wife is very happy with her LX100 camera.
