Looking for suggestions/opinions on good quality point and shoot or 3/4 mirrorless camera.

Need a smaller alternative to the DSLR (not that a D40x is big) for the mrs to use whilst we are overseas at the end of the year. I think I'll still take my camera but want her to be able to snap some images when she pleases but get some good images also.

Fuji X100 is an option altough at the higher end of what I would want to pay for something like that. Pretty good reviews on DPreview and Ken Rockwell.

Olympus E-P3 Pen looks okay.

Dont suggest Leica. My holiday will probably cost less than a fkn Leica :)

I have (well its borrowed and in London currently) a Lumix something... good point and shoot I bought 4 or so years back. Hoping for something a step up from that for custom control on my behalf, and full auto for the boss (but get good results still).

Did you mean Micro 4/3?

I use a Panasonic GH2. Probably the best kit in it's price range for shooting HD video. It also does a really good job on photos too.

They also have lower end G3 - Panasonic and Leica are partners.

Also the hardest downside on 4/3 right not is the lack of fast oem lenses. I have an adapter that will allow the use of older style Canon FD lens for cheap alternative.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
