I have my 50th coming up and my parents want to buy me a new camera as a present. I have a DSLR and use my iphone a lot too, but what I really feel I need is a decent compact that I can literally stick in my pocket and shoot quickly for street photoraphy etc.
I've been looing at the reviews of these and most seem to focus on the multitude of video and vlogging features that many of these things have. I am simply not interested and don't want to waste money on video features I will literally never use. Don't think I have ever taken a video on one of my digital cameras in 18 years of ownership!
I need to prioritise picture quality, especially at low light, and also truly small size. Would prefer zoom too rather than fixed lens.
I'll have around £400 to £500 to spend. I have mostly used Canon in the past so am interested in things like the Powershot G7 but am open to other makes too. I'm sure it won't take long to get used to a different set of controls.
Thanks if anyone has any advice or suggestions.
