Message: [QUOTE="Mike Rotch, post: 8596918, member: 6578"] I could do with some thoughts on a potential purchase I am considering. I currently have a Canon Powershot S5 (about 7 years old) and a Nikon PnS which I've had for about 3 years and cannot stand. I am doing some travelling soon and am thinking of getting a new camera, that has some similar functionality to the Canon but is much more compact. Budget is <=$400. What is are people's thoughts on the [url=http://www.dpreview.com/products/Pentax/slrs/pentax_q]Pentax Q Digital[/url]? Its got the ability to accept different lenses, but has a very compact body and a built in retractable flash. Unlike the Canon, it has 5FPs continuous drive and a faster shutter speed. My primary uses will be social occasions, macro photography (which the Canon struggles with) and holiday situations. So, thoughts? [/QUOTE]
