Looking for a good travel camera?

Question

I want it to be pretty compact but I want it to have a high zoom and want it to take quality pictures in day and at night. I will mainly be using it to take scenery shots.

I am willing to go up to £250 - £300.

I was looking at the Panasonic Lumix TZ5 but I have no ideas on the subject so I have no idea if it is good or not.

Thanks for any help =]

Answer 1

IMO, the Olympus Stylus 1030SW is worth considering. Why? Because its waterproof to 33', shockproof to a 6' drop and crushproof to 220 pounds. Plus it takes really good pictures.

Since dropping and drowning are the leading killers of digital cameras, the 1030SW takes all the worry out of using your camera in any situation.
