Compact p.a.s. camera recommendations?
 

Doesn't need to be waterproof, but lightweight (truly shirt-pocket
size), good zoom, good resolution in low light, and good macro.

Under $200 a big plus, in case I do drop it in the drink....

Suggestions?

I carry a Sony DSC W90 which is an antique by now but I like
the Sony Cyber-shot cameras. This is the second Sony Cyber-shot
I've kept so long it has become obsolete.

It's credit-card size, has a great Zeiss lens, decent macro and
the battery lasts all day for several days.

I reallly like the Panasonic LUMIX. Best fishing camera I've ever
used, by far. I have model DMC-TS2. There's probably an updated model.
Waterproof to 33 ft, shock proof to 6.6 ft. Bright LCD display
(important in bright sunlight). Good battery life.

I'll vouch for the LUMIX as well. If it can survive me, it can
survive anything.

You should do a commercial for them.

One of the best adverts for it would have been when the dog saw the
lanyard for it hanging down from the table, pulled it down (without
cold cocking himself) and decided to play chase with it. Lanyard in
mouth, running through the house (we have tile floors) and ignoring
all calls to stop until I got a clue and gave him his recall command.
Grand game.

I'm not sure I want a camera that will survive things I won't survive
(g), but thanks for the recommendations, guys.

Good point. A camera that survives things you won't leaves open the
possibility that in someone else's hands it will demonstrate a tawdry
demise. In it's absence you, like so many other historic.....and/or
mythological.....heroes, will undoubtedly acquire the sort of
reverance you deserve.

giles
whose presumably ultimate demise has been carefully mapped out. one
cannot be too careful with an all too often capricious
posterity......cf., brahe, scott, kepler, quetzacoatl, earhart,
darwin, enkidu, cleopatra, zoroaster, baker, et al., etc.

The award for most pretentious, turgid post of the month goes,as
usual, to Wolfgang (aka Giles), a perennial contender who dominates
not only this category, but who also is unmatched in the gratuitous
nastiness competition.

You don't learn.
g.
who, to be perfectly honest, can't get all excited about the price of
feathers and **** as long as immitation doughballs (yeah, the real
thing has gotten expensive.....but i've been telling y'all that for
years.....and nobody listens) are cheap and deadly.

AND who is preternaturally humble in the face of those who respond
with an uncanny semblence of pertinence to things they NEVER
read. :)
