I am looking for a small camera for my wife to carry in her purse when we are on trips. She is not into photography like I am but would like a camera that had some creative ability. Prefer something light with a fast lens. I currently use a Canon 60D and a Nikon P500 so I am fond of those brands but are I am willing to consider most any brand name with a good reputation. I have no set budget but thought I could find something under $300 but up to $400 for the right camera. I really like the Nikon P330 but have heard that it will soon be replaced. I look forward to any recommendations that any of you would have. Thank you.
