EddardStark Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Can anyone recommend a pocket digital camera. Looking for ideas for my wife's Christmas present. Just looking for a decent quality one. I have a little Canon camera with a 5x optical zoom, 16.0 mega pixels, whatever that means. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin63 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I've had 3 Panasonic Lumix cameras over the years - all have been great. http://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/cameras-camcorders/lumix-digital-cameras---point-and-shoot.html Good quality photos, great zoom and very high quality video. The sound quality with the video is also very good - on many cameras it's rotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDange Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I used to stick to the Nikon coolpix point and shoot range that I always quite liked. http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/coolpix/ Although these days most smartphones have good quality cameras built into them if it's just for point and shoot - and is one less thing to carry in your pocket or sporran! Unless you are printing your photos you don't really need more than 6 megapixels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The Sony RX100 compacts are supposed to be the business. The new one is over 800 bucks but you could get an earlier model much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 i bought a new compact about 18 months ago. As above the sony RX100 was getting all the rave reviews but I wasnt willing to spend that much. In the end I went for the canon S110. The S120 was also available but i didn't think it was worth the extra £100. I've been very happy with my S110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenfrewBlue Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I have the DMC-TZ35 and it's been great. Were on our second TZ 30 and they're really good for a simple compact. Not all that expensive either. Will probably just update to newer model when this one dies too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
