Thanks for posting. Something to consider
No Nikon, Canon or Leica models on the list - I am surprised. Sounds like strong advertising-driven bias to me. I would expect a fairer, unbiased report from the Nat. Geo organization.
Not my definition of compact, I'd take a Canon G series as a compact, carrying more than that I'd do my T4i and a light weight lens
