I'm not actually sure how many cameras I own at this point - I need to be well-rested to count that high - but I've been looking for another one for a while. My criteria have been fairly straightforward and common:
⢠as a travel camera it needs to have a good lens,
⢠be simple to use,
⢠easy to carry,
⢠be able to take a few bumps,
⢠not have me tethered to A/C power,
⢠have a picture quality not too far below my favourite big camera,
and,
⢠not be too expensive.
Simple, right?
I've compared and tried dozens of point-and-shoot cameras.
At one point or another I nearly bought:
- Canon SD1400,
- Panasonic FX65,
- Panasonic TS10,
and
- Fujifilm F300EXR.
Each one had something that stopped me from buying it.
(Bad lens, personal apathy, slow performance, and fiddly operation, respectively.)
But after doing a lot of research, talking to my co-workers, and a couple of tests, I finally found what I was looking for.
Ta-da!:
