Hi, I have limited experience of SLRs or the likes mainly as I've never had the time to learn and because I find the list of options overwhelming, I'm very much a point and shoot kinda guy, an opportunist. Previously owning a Pentax Optio S4 and then a Panasonic Lumix TZ7 both compact digital as of which I enjoyed but passed on to my kids as I found I started taking more and more pics just using my iPhone for ease and loving the pics I was getting anyway.
So here I am wanting a camera for times when the iPhone just isn't enough but I have some requirements:
It needs to be compact so that I can carry it round the streets, parks, zoos etc and not see it as a chore to have on me.
Needs to be digital so that I can keep saving images to my MAC
Needs to be basic. Like I say, point and shoot is where I'm at, I'm not bothered about touch screen, lots of settings, lots of controls. I want something I can pretty much grab and use. Simpler the better.
I'd prefer to have interchangeable lenses so that I can actually get some zoom when needed or have just some versatility but without going over board.
I'd like it to have a vintage look if possible but not essential.
Which brings me round to my question. If you were looking at these criteria what would be your recommendation not factoring in cost? And if cost was an issue say a camera under £1000 matching those criteria, what would that be?
