First off, I'm a bit of a camera hog, so have ended up with quite a few
over the years. Although don't have one, do like the 4/3 option with a
14mm lens. Jim Thill has one and is getting quite good photos from the
setup.
For point and shoots, currently am using the Sony RX100 which has a really
Having ridden the Brick, it sure FEELS like it's solid through !! I'll ask
my friend Scott... He may know.

I use the Lumix ZS15. Well, that is more or less what it is called now,
don't have the camera with me. I use it taking shots on and off the bike.
On the bike, I keep it in a handlebar bag. The winder bump out makes it
very easy to get a firm grip, and the switching is all right there so you
Hey Will, I think images of our bikes and our rides are so integral to this
group that your question isn't too off topic. I've actually been wanting to
invest in a better camera myself but feel extremely overwhelmed when I
start looking. I'll be curious to see what people recommend.
And yeah,
Yep ... I see lots of bad cell phone images, but it's not because of the
phone ! If your camera has some image stabilization , use it, but one *still
needs a steady hand *! THE Number One cause of blurry photos !Many
people think a camera will just take a perfectly focused photo no
Sure, I see tons of poorly framed shots taken with cell phone and nicer
phones alike. I feel like I've gotten some great shots with my iPhone and
my cheapie point and shoot DC. But like William said I know a great
camera doesn't make a great photographer and you are certainly that. But it
This is all great advice. Eric, the points you make are dead on.
I'm not looking to ditch my iPhone. I just don't want it to be my primary
camera as it has been for two years. My primary used to be my Olympus E10. An
old tank of a dutch bike of the digital camera world! It doesn't travel well!
Myself ... I prefer a camera that uses AA batteries if I have the choice.
I use Sanyo Eneloop AA which last a long time and do not drain when
unused. You can also find common AA batteries everywhere in a pinch .
Here's a few ... and more $$ does not mean better IQ
Thanks Garth. The AA battery usage is a good point. My E10 is like that and I
have always appreciated it. In that group the Canon SX160 stands out for me.
That would be some serious savings over what I was looking at! And very
portable. Doesn't look like I would be giving up too much?

I carried a Panasonic LX1 for a long time until it broke. I loved that
camera, just worked well all around and I could use manual modes if the
mood carried me. Great lens.
I bought a digital slr after this one broke, Nikon d5000, and it is just
too big to take with me on the bike most of the

I upgraded from a cheapie to a Cannon G12 about a year ago. If I had seen

I think that's a screamin' deal on the SX 160 actually and no, I don't

now ... wow ... I may get one too !!!

I use a Samsung ST76 Pocket camera that is about 2x3x.5 inches in size,
super light and takes photos that are pretty hard to screw up (I often take
quick shots from the saddle which turn out pretty decent)... My link to

Will to answer you question. The camera at the time was a Olympus Pen-3. I
like it but me being a fairly reckless picture taker the camera isn't
really living up to scuff to my standards of clumsiness.
Before this camera most my shots from previous reports was a Canon G11 a

My original Canon Elph 780 lasted through about two years of riding that
included getting thoroughly drenched at PBP--on that ride, the rear screen was
so saturated with water that it stopped working, but the camera somehow kept
taking pictures. Once it dried out, the screen started working

I like the micro 4/3 stuff. Smaller lenses - some of the pancakes are really

good shots, too. Lately I have been using a Panasonic GF3 with a 14mm lens on
the bike. It is only slightly bigger than a PS. I also picked
