Need a small camera Hi, I am looking to purchase a small digital camera. I do a lot of traveling on a motorcycle where I cannot put my larger equipment in the saddlebags. I will also be visiting diffrent countires where I need to carry a napsack with other suppilies so I need it to fit in my pocket so I can pull it out quickly.I am looking for one with rechargeable batteries,excellent photo taking is a must, low light and fast action. It needs to have some zoom but photo quality is the main issue. Any suggestions would be helpful, thank you, Cherie

Have you looked into any yet? Perhaps the higher-end point-and-shoot zooms, made by the same company as your "larger equipment" gear, for familiarity and consistency?

Hi Cherie, I was also looking for a small carry-around P&S myself that will shoot RAW. I know Canon & Nikon both make a few and I think you will need to read the specs and find one that fits your needs :) Theya re also getting better with low-light / higher ISO's as well. I am looking at the Canon S90 & the G12 :) Have fun in your travels & be safe, Carlton

My husband Jack (also a BP member) has the G12 and I have a G10. Both outstanding relatively small cameras.

I've been wanting to get a different compact camera to use when it is not practical to carry my Cannon 40D. I have purchased, and then given away three different cameras because the photo quality seems lacking. The noise levels and color acuracy are not good. My very first digital camera was only 3mp but it took very good pictures. It used a compact flash card just like my 40D instead of the tiny flash memory that P&S cameras use now. Are there any little cameras that use the compact flash card? Thats what I want to find again. Photo taken with my old 3mp camera.

Cherie, the Canon S90 does all what you desire and is the sleekiest compared with a G-series Canon. I am thinking it will fulfill all your requirements of travel and excellent pictures. Check the link below: UB.

I travel quite a bit on a motorcycle as well. Lots of motorcycle camping. I went with the Canon D10 because it is so rugged. Never have to worry about dinging it, getting it wet etc. Definitely check it out in your research best andrew
