Travel Cam
Anticipating some extensive airplane travel, I have been researching a "pocket cam" to keep from carrying a lot of gear.
My criteria:
7-8 MP minimum
28 mm wide
3.5 X zoom or more
RAW file capable
Max. size of 4.5 X 3 X 1.8 inches
Storage card unimportant
Would prefer an actual optical viewfinder but none now?
With over 500 P&S digicams available from various manufactures you think this would be a "cake walk" to find several.....wrong! Only 2 camera's fit this criteria and they are almost identical (except for price), the Panny LX2 and the Leica Dlux3. The last Oly was the C-7000 (3 years old), Canon S70 also (3 years old), no raw from Nikon....
Looks like the LX2 for me.
Looks like some room here for some other choices?
