Consider the Panasonic Lumix TS10 or TS2 (the high tech version). Amazon.com has the best prices as I write.

I meant to type TS3, not TS2.

I have a Panasonic ZS5 that is absolutely excellent.It is my all around camera, because it fits easily in a pocket and goes anywhere! As I move up to something with inter-changeable lenses(from a Kodak Z981), I most probably will go with a high end Panasonic because of the ZS5. Focus is lightning fast and the Leica lenses are crystal clear. Good luck in your quest.

When you mistakenly press <Last>>> instead of <Next>> when navigating the Main Discussion section, you end up responding to an irrelevant thread from 2011. Consider being more careful in your navigation, as well reading both the author and the post-date of the thread before responding.

The best camera for a tourist is a smart phone. If you already have one learn to use it. If you don't an iPhone, galaxy or pixel all have great versions

Did they have smart phones in 2011, when this topic was posted?
