Depends on what you want to photograph I guess. My current compact is a cannon sureshot sx700hs brought a few years back. It is a very good holiday camera and comes with a 30X zoom and optical image stabilisation. Hence I can use max zoom without tripod. The lower zoom versions will be around £150. But I am not certain if it is any good in photographing coins though. Quote
Peckris 2 Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 150 will get you something that is literally half decent. Go up to between 200 and 250 & you should be able to pick up one of the older Lumix TZ cameras, which give pretty good results for a small sensor camera. On the other hand, if you've a decent smartphone from the past few years, you will already have a more than half decent camera. Quote

Fubar Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 I replaced my old Lumix with a new Lumix DMC-FZ1000 but that's hardly a compact. After some research the middle of the road Canon SX620 HS seemed to be the best pocket camera around a hundred quid and has been good so far. Quote

Fubar Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 I paid £149 for mine so, yes, a little over a hundred quid. 🙄 Quote
