Point and Shoot Camera

I've had good luck with Panasonic Lumix DMC ZS/TZ series cameras (the $150-$350 line, not the low end they now market under similar model names). I currently have a ZS30 which is OK but not quite as ergonomic as their older models in the line. The newer ZS40 and similar models might be worth a look, though.

The bottom line is that you need something with Image Stabilization (preferably optical/physical stabilization). And if you're shooting Landscapes then you want something with a really wide field of view when zoomed out.

I often check out www.dpreview.com before buying a camera... Good stuff there.

Enjoy,

+1 for www.dpreview.com

I have a Pentax WG-1 that I'm very pleased with. I bought it with the
intention of using it in my Libelle too. Its benefit is that the lens is
entirely inside the camera body and doesn't extend in use, which means
that the camera can be mounted on the canopy rail, out of the way up
close to the perspex.

As a bonus, the camera is mildly ruggedised and is said to be waterproof
to 10m, so won't mind being dropped or getting caught in a rain shower.
