I am still looking for a secondary camera....
Budget
Not important, but want value for money.
Size
Compact-Ultra Compact.
Features
Manual controls would be nice.
General Usage
Taking tramping/hiking, into areas where a Canon S2, or Pana FZ20 would be annoyling bulky.
Would take a few indoor photos.
Might use to take photos of Birds/wild life. Could be in dim forest. I plan to purchase a underwater case.
Miscellaneous
Are there particular brands you like or hate?
I am currently looking at one of two cameras, They are the Canon S80, which I quite like, but it is fairly expensive. The other camera is the Panasonic DMC-LX1 which my mother likes, but is also expensive. (And also lacks a water proof case which means it would not suit my needs... but ignore the need for a water proof case for this comparison).
How would the two above cameras compare (In terms of image quality, general preformance) with the Canon PowerShot A620. Which is quite a bit cheaper, although it does not have wide angle lens.
