My fiancee and I are getting married in August and headed out to Sri Lanka and the Maldives for 14 nights. We're planning on doing a lot of sight seeing while in Sri Lanka and a lot of laying around on the beach while in the Maldives.
What I want from the camera is;
- Lightweight and easy to travel with.
- High detailed shots during the day and the night (any night pictures with our current camera don't come out at all).
- The ability to take wide angled/panoramic shots.
I have been looking at the Sony TX5 as it seems like a nice little camera and it can be used under the water, which is a bonus for the Maldives.
I've also been looking at some of the Nikon cameras as I've used a friends Nikon S3000 and found it much more friendly (with the display and USB charger). In particular I've looked at the S8000 and S8100.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I have looked at some DSLR cameras but the whole changing of lenses puts me off DSLR cameras.
My budget is £500 max and I'd like the camera to of course last longer than just the honeymoon.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out.
