[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 603831, member: 25383"] a lot of that has to do with what your budgit is. The two best small frame cameras are the Lieca and the new Fuji, but your also looking at about $1,000 or more. The Samsung NV series (and NX series) are very good little cameras and can be bought well under $300. Samsung has the best quality glass of all camera brands (Schnider [sp]). Another good one to look at is the Olympus ELP series. If your going to use the camera on hunting and fishing trips, Pentax sells a shock proof and water proof small frame camers that a lot of folks seem to like. I've never used one, so can't say much about picture quality. I have used the Olympus, Fuji's, and the Lieca, and you really have to spend $3,000 to get much better. Of the small frame cameras the Fuji has the largest sensor. You can get three different lenses with the Olympus ELP, but most folks are not changing lenses. The Samsung NV series has the optical zoom your after and is a 10 meg camera. There are no plastic parts in that camera. I have not used the NX1000 Samsung, but on paper it looks a winner.

I love the feel of the Lieca, but that new Fuji is about the same size and has a similar feel. I'm going to buy a new Fuji or the Olympus this spring, as it's about 99% of the Lieca for about 50% of the price. And I have all the software options down pat on the Fuji. The Olympus is a learning curve all over again. but still a very fine camera. gary [/QUOTE]
