Any compact camera superstars out there right now??

...looking to add a compact to the kit bag as already have a DSLR.

Used to use Canons but no idea what they're like now. SD would be a plus as that's what I have laying about already but other than that my mind is open. Casios are nice and slim, but do you pay the price elsewhere?

Budget ... £200ish, less than that is all good too though

Cheers,
Monty

I have just picked up a Canon G9 which I reckon is a bargin at about £240.
14 mega pixels and raw.
Been playing with it over the holidays and it is superb. A real pros choice.

Hope this helps

Jon
