Im considering getting a pro level point and shoot with what little cash I have left from my lens upgrade spending spree. It would be nice to have something smaller that would be easy to carry on campus when carrying a full DSLR just isn't an option. Looking for small and not TOO expensive since this won't be my primary camera. Basically, just a candid camera and for stuff I come across when I dont have my DSLR.
The below are what I am currently considering, Im shooting for that 300.00 mark and if I need to wait and save a little more its not an issue. Would love to hear the forum's suggestions/perspectives ...
Tier I
Nikon P6000 ... 299 (refurb), solid optics, good reviews, RAW output, decent optics
Ricoh CX2 ... 289 (new), excellent optics, jpeg output, good review, and very creative oriented (can actually shoot 1:1 high contrast B/W images right in the camera)
Tier II
Canon S90 ... 399.00, excellent optics/reviews, f/2 lens, control ring, very small
Canon G11 ... 499.00, excellent all around, but a little bulky.
Sigma DP-1 ... 450, sensor better emulates film, small, excellent reviews, little to no zoom
Ricoh GX200 ... price varies, excellent point and shoot, great optics, and handles RAW with all the creative options of the CX2
