Last week my DSLR and all my lens were stolen. So I am now completely camera-less. To top it off I'm on holiday in two weeks. Off to Oz on a bit of a trip of a lifetime so there is no way I am going without a camera!
Due to some complications I am still waiting to hear from the insurance company but it isn't looking hopeful. (nothing dodgy just been living in temp accommodation during the week for work)
As I am not sure if the insurance is going to pay out, and I can't justify a new dslr and lens before the holiday. I have been looking at some high end compacts namely the g10, lumix lx3 and a leica d-lux 3.
Tempted by the lx3 due to the wide angle, but they're difficult to get hold of and don't have much of a zoom... Canon G10, quite easy to get, and has a decent zoom. Leica is a bit of a glorified panasonic, but they do look nice and hold their value well (if i sell on return to buy a DSLR)
Any one got any advice? Will be using the camera to take all holiday type shots, so not really for any 'specific' use.
Know it' s not ideal and would love to buy another dslr but hard to justify, and I can also keep the compact to complement a Dslr in the future.
Budget around £300-400
thanks
