I'm going to Rome in 3 weeks for 10 days and I'm looking for a camera to take to photograph the sites. I currently have and slr which I don't want to lug around and also a slim Sony camera which is about 5 years old with pretty much no optical zoom.
I'm looking for a camera which has good optical zoom and can do panoramic photos. Also something that can easily go in a pocket. My budget is around the £150 mark, don't want to go any higher than £170. I would like one with rechargeable batteries and also don't mind buying used.

Thanks in advance,

Mark
 
I have a Sony WX300 which a 20x optical zoom and which has really impressed me.
Here are a pic and vid taken from it:

New on the rainforest around £170 but 2nd hand £150 should be easy.
 
Ending up ordering the DSC HX50. Was reading lots of reviews and this seemed to have the edge and i shouldn't need another camera for a while with my Pentax KX DSLR and my Sony DSC-T77. Should arrive tomorrow hopefully, but thanks for pointing me in the Sony direction :)
