Choosing the right travel camera can be difficult, especially on a budget. When the trip is over, your pictures are some of the best souvenirs you’ll have.

Are you taking your camera for a night on the town, an afternoon on the river, or a rock-climbing excursion? No matter what your style, find the camera that’s right for you.

The “Speed Demon” camera seems like a good deal. That’s the one I would get!
Hi Ash; All the cameras shown look like good ones for the title you gave them. The sony being the highest in Megapixels will give the user the option to blow their pictures up to a larger size. Other than my 2 DSLR cameras I have a powershot for just sticking in my pocket when I don’t want to take the big camera. It would be interesting to see the comparisions between the point and shoot cameras to see the difference in quality and therefore price. Luminex also make excellent point and shoot cameras but they are a bit expensive. Well done. I hope that my comments were helpful. P
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
