What compact Camera

[rookies]

I am a proud owner of a Canon 40D with many great L Lens.

I am wanting a great Compact camera just moment when I have not got the big camera with me.

Dont really want to spend alot and like it to be compact not bulky.

Any advice?

Well I don't suppose you can go wrong with a Canon G10, but £400 is a lot for a compact...

I have though about the Canon Ixus 100IS £200 is it any good does anyone know

We bought a Panasonic FS compact in March for those times when the DSLR is not practical / possible to use. So far very pleased with it and some great photos - much better & more practical for when out with a few freinds for a meal etc and you want some snap shots.

Need to type quicker !

We looked at this and the Panasonic (has a Leica lens), I preferred the Panasonic (despite being a Canon DSLR bod for a number of years now) feel and some of the features it had.

Probably the best bet to try them out

The FS5, a review

Seem to remember we paid around £125 - 135, also remembered the other feature I liked was the wide angle lens - 30mm, apparently wider than most compacts.

cheers
