I finally took the plunge and bought a Compact - WX300 Sony - used it for the first time tonight
now I haven't read any of the instructions, and must remember I only got this to take out when I do not wish to carry the SLR. Just not impressed first time, it feels so small, miss the eye piece and not really happy with the quality of pictures. In many ways wish I had bought from the Shopping Channel - their 30 day money back guarantee now seems very attractive!! Now need to spend a few days trying to get to know this camera! Hope no one minds me putting up a comment like this but just need to get this out of my system! Thank you for listening.
