I've just sold my dslr bit to big, what I would like is a compact high quality digital camera, with a decent zoom on it and be able to manual long exposures.
As there are a fair few into photography on here and some stunning examples of pictures taken thought I'd see what the thoughts were, looking around £200 - £400
I'd highly recommend taking a look at the Canon S95. It doesn't have a huge zoom range (28-105mm), but the image quality is superb for a point-and-shoot. And it will shoot in raw.
I owned a Panasonic TZ10 briefly but was very disappointed with the image quality. I think they crammed too many pixels into the tiny sensor. The TZ7 was much better.

Thanks for the replies good to have some ideas the tz10 looks good value.. Heads of too read some more.......
Olympus mju tough 12mp. Excellent picture quality and bloody bulletproof too.
Thats pretty wierd Forge I sold my Nikon D50 yesterday and getting delivery of a Panasonic TZ7 on Monday . I thought about the TZ10 but feel Its a bit over the top with Geo tagging and the likes. Will let you know what the TZ7 is like.
Would say Canon G11 but the new Canon G12 is out which
now includes 720HD video
Stanfree is weird I sold a nikon d80, be interested in tz7 feedback. Will look at the others to but sense lots of joy for the tz7
I've been really pleased with my TZ7, very rarely take the DSLR out riding now. Some sample images [url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/markknowles/sets/72157623751219367/ ]here[/url].
MrGreedy - nice shots that tz looks a good camera
Olympus [url= http://www.wilkinson.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=18536 ]Pen E-P1[/url] can be had with a 14-42mm lens for £249. Fits in a pouch on the hip when riding or jacket pocket when not. If that's compact enough it's got a much bigger sensor than a 'real' compact.
Well I am now the proud owner of a TZ10 battery is charging so hope to try it out tomorrow
Thanks for all the pointers. 🙂
