Compact, great lens, great zoom and some really smart photo modes to compensate for backlit scenes, night shots and all sorts.
I nearly got this one, has a great "selfie" flip screen. Kinda wish I had now because apart from better zoom, the one I got just offers additional complexity and modes (when not in fully auto mode)

Flip me, your teacup must be the size of a chamberpot
I'd just buy the most expensive one of the compact cameras reviewed this year by Which magazine
It was quite spectacular - camera up on edge of cupboard next to my chair. Mug of tea on arm of chair. Was looking for a pen, knocked camera, and it landed with a clean plop directly in the mug of tea. Barely a drop spilt. Never bothered replacing it as haven't needed a camera up till now.

x100 is good
But the best pics I've ever taken were with an Olympus point and shoot, Oly lenses are great and you can get some good medium zooms on them.
Number of shots you can get on a card is determined by the resolution you shoot at so there's no hard and fast answer.
Olympus 820 Uses 4 aa.
Plenty of other models though.Last edited by tractor; 11 September 2014, 21:59.
