I've got a DSLR with a variety of lenses and accessories and whilst I like the idea of having it's capabilities I'm just not using them to anything like their full extent. Basically, I want something which I can take biking/hiking/camping etc but which will still take good landscape and action shots. The DSLR with the appropriate lenses is obviously the most capable and versatile but it's just too big to use on anything other than planned "photoshoots" where I'm happy to stop and faff about getting kit out etc.
So the wishlist is:
Compact
Waterproof
Manual settings
Not touchscreen
HD video
RAW
Camera phone style fanciness such as panoramas etc
Shockproof/crushproof a bonus
I've seen the Nikon 1 AW1 but it's possibly a bit too big so would still end up in the bag and have considered a tough compact/gopro combo but then I'd be missing out on decent image quality for things like landscapes. I've been taking the DSLR out with me recently but using my Nokia 1020 phone instead so I'm taking a load of weight and a bigger bag for no benefit!
Any suggestions?
