My second camera is a compact Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT3. It fits in my pocket, it has a good quality zoom lens without acting like a transformer when you turn it on. It is water and dust proof, drop proof and takes a bloody good picture in almost any condition with it 12 megapixies. I can take it out and about absolutely anywhere, including the beach, parties, mountains without really worrying about it. There are cheaper compact cameras out there but this one is a little gem in my opinion. I think it may have been superseded by now though so I hope its replacement is as good.
Hi scubi. I use a Panasonic (DMC-SZ7). Can’t fault it, though it was a step in the dark as I’d always gone for Nikon until my last one (a Nikon) which surprisingly had a terrible lens, packed up on me with a mechanical failure.:o)
Hard to recommend what’s really good in the compact camera range anymore – think it comes down a lot of the time to ease of use and things like battery life (the Panasonic battery seems to last forever and the controls are in the right place and very easy to use).
