Which Compact?

[DoubleT]

im after a compact camera to have on me at all times really and for the wife to chuck in her hand back.

budget of around £100-£150

how about the Nikon s210? any good?


what would you get, and why?

Problem is there are millions of compacts available these days and the range changes almost daily. It's impossible to keep up.

Are there any further requirements, such as a bigger zoom, manual/semi-manual modes, etc?

 

[DoubleT]

not really, just want a simple piont and shoot that has good picture control

I just got an Olympus Mju 790SW. It's the one on the adverts where the little lad throws it around a bit with his dog (Waterproof & shockproof) and I am very impressed with the images and control. Argos have them advertised at £199 but if you look further down the listing it shows also available at £140. I reserved one on Friday night and collected Saturday am.

Description is different but the camera is the same.

Canon seem to be better at compacts than Nikon....

The Canon G9 is pretty cool and a bit hardcore... a compact with SLR controls and features... manual override, RAW/JPEG and a flash hotshoe :nuts:

I like the Sony W300 with its 13.6 mpixel pictures. £199 on Amazon when last I looked.
