Liam Bunce Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hi all I am looking for a compact camera something that will slip into a pocket and is Alamy friendly, I am looking to spend up to £270 and have so far had my eye on the cannon sx280 hs 12mp 20xzoom.

Allan Bell Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Check out Alamy approved list of cameras. Also their non-approved list. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Check out the forum thread(s) on the Sony RX100. It's Alamy-friendly and it sounds like a very versatile little camera. But hmmm..., let's see, £270 is about $425 I believe. Don't think you can buy a new RX100 for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Smart Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I bought my husband's RX100 from an outfit in Hong Kong and I paid $515.00 Australian plus postage - about 302 pounds at today's rate.

Martin P Wilson Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Buy a used RX, Fuji or whatever? Should just about get the price below the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirco Vacca Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hello Liam, I can help you for sure. You are looking for a small camera that is Alamy friendly and in your budget. In this case i advice you to go for one of the Sony Nex-3 models. They should be in your budget and have image quality that you can expect from a DSLR. This because of the APS-C sensor. I am shooting with the Sony Nex 6 and Sony Nex 5. I am verry happy with my choice. As you can see at my portfolio the images are on pro level. Futher you can go for Olympus Pen. Just makes sure that you have at least a micro 4/3 sensor. Let me know if you have questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
