Under $300 is peas in a pod. Nothing stands out.
Under $350 there are possibilities
Canon G16, Nikon P340, Panasonic LX7
I have a couple high-end DSLR cameras, but find the weight of carrying it around to be annoying. I'm looking for a light-weight point and shot camera under $300. Any recommendations?
