Hey all, I want to get a nice and small compact camera

a little background first..

I currently use a Nikon D7000 SLR and I use a wide variety of modes including manual and different lenses

I photograph anything from indoor, to out door, to motor sport

but I am no means a pro or semi pro, im only a beginner really

So my knowledge is there, I now want a camera small and compact to fit in my pocket (for when I go cycling and hiking etc) I don't want one that can change lenses like the Nikon 1

I am only interested in Nikon or Canon cameras

Thanks

Thanks guys

Been reading up on another one , a canon G15 ?

Blimey that RX100 does seem most excellent!
reading up about it over a DP

Jessops are doing it for £430 at the moment

Theres currently one up for auction, but the Seller said he got it from the US, will they make any difference ?

If you're going for compact I dont see why it has to be Nikon/Canon, they dont make the best compacts. As suggested Sony RX100 or Panasonic LX7 with its 24mm 1.4 lens could be good also.

I only said Nikon and Canon becuase i know how good they are in the SLR market, my sister and hubby use Nikon SLR PRO range, and i use a Nikon 7000

My dad had a Canon back in the 35mm analogue days and my step dad has a Bridge Camera made from Canon

but of course if theres a better camera out there in the compact market then i am open to suggestions, and as said the Sony RX100 seems to be one of the best
