Hi all –
I'm looking to purchase a new camera in the next two weeks (prior to a Superior Hiking Trail thru-hike in northern Minnesota), and am looking for recommendations.
Here are my preferences: wide angle (between 25-28 mm on the wide end), best picture quality (duh), less than $300. Bigger zoom is better, as are intuitive/responsive controls. Lighter is better, and I'm specifically looking for something in the 5-8 oz range.
I've found that the compact digital camera market is a tough one to keep up with, and the on-line reviews i've waded through so far haven't led me in a particular direction. Thanks in advance for any advice/recs, and i promise to post a few trip photos with whatever camera i wind up with.
Matt
