Well my favorite little camera got stolen from my vehicle at my lovely auto dealership Canon G10…gone and sitting right next to it a 500 buck pair of Binoculars that they did not take
Yeh well I am not done with that little issue quite yet.. This is the same dealer that I have over my career brought over 2 million in warranty work too.. All for police fleet jobs I have had…
Oops.. but its almost impossible to prove and sadly most dealerships have the you leave it you lost it clause in the work order and thus the employees know this as I used to work at an auto dealer also and many seemed to think it was ok to take stuff out of vehicles..
I am not into used and I think I really might want wifi possibly… When I figure out if it will help me… If not I might just stick to my phone and save the money… +Kevin Gault
I'm really enjoying my Panasonic Lumix GX7. Actually it's +Doug Kaye who's been testing cameras… I just ask him a bunch of questions about them :). http://www.thisweekinphoto.com/gear/
Not yet +Brent Burzycki but i have been eyeballing one here at one of the photodealerships, 90foot UW and interchangable lenses (Not UW ofc) and its small and compact. I really want one for my carry around but i already have the go pro and want to get one of those phantom aerial units so its a bit of a toss up atm. I still would llike one of those Nikon 1's in my bag though.
I like my Panasonic DMC-SZ9. Its only fault seems to be how long it takes to turn off. I want to take it out snap a picture and put it away. But I end up having to wait for a few seconds before the lens retracts. Maybe it's not a huge problem.
+Nathan Lunde-Berry well in a manner of speaking – 300-600 bucks is about what the G10 went for…. everything is more expensive now but I have found not always better..
+Gavin Beckford I like the RX100 but.. Lots of negative reviews about moisture damage… I wonder if that's a real issue… It probably will not be for me.. I will say the Canon G10 was built really well a d could take a lot of abuse…
I think it's important to make a decision, buy the camera, and start shooting. Too much feedback and "analysis paralysis" can be stifling. Speaking from personal experience.
Very sad to hear about the theft. Will insurance cover it? As for replacements, I hear good things about Sony's A7 and A7r but I have not personally tried them.
Been thinking about a Nikon Coolpix A.
And that sucks they stole your camera! π
That sucks.

I lreally like my old g15. Decent prices now since there's the upgraded g16 available now
Just pick up a used one on Amazon. I just checked they go for $225 – 350.
Wait they are up to a g16 now +Terrell Woods

Check out the Sony NEX line. The newest models have built in connections now. Plus there are conversion adapters for DLSR lenses.

Thanks….. Ok +Frederick Van Johnson let's ask that +Doug Kaye π
+Brent Burzycki Yea. The real HUGE diff in the G16 is WiFi connectivity and the new processor….but whew the price!
Bummer… Is it over 600
I just bought a used Canon S110, you may want to take a peek at thoses?
I love that S110 +Tim Barber Actually my fave stealthy camera

Oh we're talking about expensive cameras.

+Terrell Woods Had been looking at S90, then S95, S100 until I settled on S110. Exactly what I was looking for! GREAT camera!
What about that Sony RX100 II ?
The Canon S110 and 120 are viable options too.
