Spec me a compact camera - preferably Canon

[Savan_P]

Hi All,

I currently have a full blown Canon SLR with a range of lenses, however there are many occasions where I feel that taking the SLR is a bit OTT. Therefore I am always having to resort to my phone, which is good compared to most phones, however can never replace an actual camera - especially in low light applications where I avoid taking the SLR, for example evening do's and parties.

Therefore, I am looking for a decent compact camera. I've not really got a budget, all it needs to be is good value for money, fairly compact and preferably Canon - although I am open to other makes.

I have tried to avoid buying Sony in the past as they don't use standard SD cards, however if this has changed - go for it!

Seems like the Sony range is better than the Canon compact range.

I really like the look of the RX100! Thanks for the help, now to do some more research into exactly which RX100 to get.

Darkness - that seems like a very reasonable price, especially with accessories!

I will have to find a good local camera shop and see what they have. £349 is bang on about what the budget is really. Anything more is borderline DSLR territory - although I don't mind spending that much money, just think I might as well buy a better DSLR.
