Looking for a compact digital camera for mountain biking ...

[Kerrmit1992]

Hi guys,

I am looking for a compact digital camera i can put in my bag when im out mountain biking, but one that will also be quite good for most other things too ... i had a look at the nikon S3100 but the reviews say the picture isnt very good, has anyone used or own this camera that could tell me?

Im looking to spend between £100 - £200.

All advice and info welcome

Thanks
Craig

You can get the S5100 for £100 - better than the S3100 - mainly in the fact that it has image stabilization.

Check out the Panasonic FS35, with a 28mm lens, image stabilization, face recognition and x8 zoom for £129, or the FS37 if you prefer touch screen controls (£152).

Another option is getting a rugged camera which will withstand falling on the ground or in the water - take a look at the Olympus TG-310 (£130).
