Hi guys,
I hate to add another 'what should I buy' thread but I'm stuck really.
I'm looking for a camera with some level of manual control but without the expense of a digital SLR (if I had the money I wouldn't hesitate
)
I've been looking at many reviews of compacts but it seems that the majority out there do not have an optical viewfinder, which I think is crazy really.
I'm looking to spend £150-£200 maybe more depending on what's available. Can anyone suggest either a model or review site? Any sample snaps would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
