Soldato
Off to the US for 3 week driving holiday around California in September, and I'm looking to upgrade my compact camera (a little Canon IXUS) for when out and about.
I tried taking my SLR out in the Lake District as a test, and it was too bulky for me as I like to hike with as little on my back as possible! So my intention is to use the SLR when close to the B&B or the car, but carry the compact on long walks / hikes etc..
So what I'm looking for mainly is a fairly compact camera (not a hybrid) that will do decent-ish wide angle and record reasonable video too.
From what I've seen the Panasonic Lumix are quite good for this, any others to consider?
Ta!
