Slim carmera for Cycling
Hello,
I will be cycling in Europe and am looking for a slim digital camera that will fit into my bike jersey pocket. I am looking at the Casio EX-S600 as wll as the Nikon Coolpix S 4 or 5. I am open for suggestions. The camera needs to be thin and light. I think the features I am most interested in are 3X Optical Zoom, 6 mega pixel and Image Stabilization. Do any of the slim camera's have Image Stabilization? I would like to keep the price within the $300.00 or so dollar range. Thank you in advance. |

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01 may fit your bill: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicfx01/ and for more zoom range, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 might be of interest: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...nic_dmctz1.asp David |

I am open for suggestions. The Pentax Optio WP doesn't have image stabilization, but it is thin, light and waterproof to 1.5M. I carry one when I'm flyfishing and it is a nice little camera; no viewfinder but I've not had any trouble composing shots with the LCD even in bright sunlight. -- Charlie... http://www.chocphoto.com |

Check the A series Canons, not the smallest or the lightest but very
nice image quality for reasonable price. The A5xx are the smallest 2 AA batteries, but also only go to 4mp. The A6xx are a little heavier but 4 AAs gives faster zoom and focus. Bought my son, also a bicyclist the 5mp A610 and he is very happy with it. He rides with a chopper bicycle group, I'm look foward to seeing some pics of this. Tom |

I find my Nikon Coolpix slips easily into the back pocket of my lycra cycling jersey. It takes excellent pictures. |

So far I'm most interested in the Canon SD600 and the Casio EXS600
based on my limited understanding of the specs. Both are ultraslim models. Any thoughts on these cameras? Has anyone looked at photos from both? |
