Compact camera

September 18th, 2012
I'm going on holiday soon and would like to have a small camera to keep in my pocket when I don't have my SLR on me. I am toying with Canon Powershot A4000 and the IXUS 125 HS. Does anyone have any experiences with these? I have a Canon G9 but it is not pocket size so would like something as close in quality as possible without spending too much.

I have a Canon Powershot A560 which was a gift, so it is what it is. It does take great pictures so I'm thinking that the A4000 is a few (quite a few!) notches up from mine. It probably takes excellent pictures!

Most of my pictures are taken with (an older version) of the Ixus, mostly happy with the result, and really easy to carry! This picture is SOOC:

Panasonic FS range is super.

I was very happy with my Canon Elph100HS -- until the lens refused to retract. Sometimes the pictures amazed me; other times they weren't so great, but that was probably my fault. It's very small and light, easy to carry and unobtrusive for candid street shots. I replaced it with an Elph110HS which I don't like quite as well. Don't know why.

I have a Nikon AW100 and it is great. Takes pretty good macro shots, is waterproof, tough and can be used in temperatures much colder than many other cameras.
Here are a few of the shots taken with it. I have also taken some landscape shots with storm clouds, used it in the rain and taken it for a swim too :)
Happy shopping!!
