Camera

Another big advantage of a dedicated compact over just using your phone is the Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) on many modern compact cameras such as the Panasonic lumix LX range. I find viewing a phone screen to line up a photo can be tricky in bright Florida sunshine - a decent EVF eliminates this problem

Depends what you're looking for. My Pixel has fantastic photo quality, far better than a point and shoot. Not as good as my full frame DSLR but then I'm not going to lug a DSLR around a theme park.

Depends on budget - A DSLR will get best results, if not the Fuji range are very good.

Yeah i defo do not want a DSLR, want a smaller camera.

Think i will go for the Panasonic TZ60.

Cheers for the help everyone!

I actually have both of the TZ60 and G7X Mk2. Would be happy as either with a point and shoot to be honest. Have used both out in FLorida, admittedly mainly for video.

The TZ60 has the longer zoom and a viewfinder, but it is softer at the long end of that zoom.

The G7X Mk2 takes better snaps, but it's over twice the price.

I have been looking at the panasonic tz60 or the canon g7x, the latter being double the price but possibly worth it.

any other suggestions?

Cheers!

These are both decent cameras so I'm sure either would suit. I think the decision is more about size. I made the mistake of taking a DSLR on my last trip but far too big. Have now reverted to my trustee compact TZ5 and its more than adequate.

I have a Nikon D3200. I used to use a Nikon Coolpix but I am enjoying having a better quality camera. Last Summer I got a camera backpack which made it easier to access. I kept the camera and additional lens in the bottom of the backpack and was able to use top part for other items like autograph books.

I didn't want to lug my big camera around so bought a Sony HX60 and that's all i've been using since. It's fab!

I have always used my Canon DSLR but i have switched to mirrorless this year.
I've gone for the Olympus OM-D EM10 MK II
Great camera, quality is just as good if not better than my DSLR, smaller, lighter but still have the option to swap lenses.

Just purchased a Sony RX100 mk 5. Wow, what a camera. Better quality shots than my 7D slr and it's tiny. Couple with the backup to smartphone app so I can back my photos to my Google drive easily, I can't wait to try out this camera in the parks.
