My wife and I will be going on a fairly long (distance-/travel-wise) trip soon. We've got our Canon 20D and 40D bodies and lenses, but I'm thinking I probably don't want to submit those to the tender mercies of air travel. Never mind the weight and bulk.
We have a selection of older functional digicams:
I've searched, but it's been a lot of frogs and few princes. E.g.: Looked at the Panasonic Lumix ZS60, which can be had from Costco for about $280, but was underwhelmed by the reviews. Something like a Nikon Coolpix B700 would almost certainly do, but $450
Wondering if anybody here has any suggestions?
TIA!
We have a selection of older functional digicams:
- Olympus C-4000Z - Still works, but it's only 4MP and is it ever slooooow!
- Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 - looks like it's developed dead pixels, no view finder
- Olympus SP-6000UZ - never suited either my wife nor I very well (can't say why), no view finder
- Relatively capable performance, say at least as good as a modern phone
- Optical zoom
- A view-finder and
- Manual modes (e.g.: Aperture and shutter priority)?
