I'm going holidying in Japan for a month and I'm looking at either the: Canon G3 Canon S45 Nikon
Coolpix 4500 Fuji Finepix 602Z (what is the diff. between the 602Z and the 602ZPRO?)
I guess it depends how hard you ride and how well you can protect them as to what you would carry on
a trail. None of the above would be taken on a trail ride unless I could protect them really well. I
have a HP Photosmart C500 2.1 megapixel camera which I would take to harsh locations because it is
solid and more importantly - didn't cost me a cent
The cameras above are not pro level, but they
are certainly not average happy snap cameras either - something in between. Fine for taking quick
snaps but allow me to get all creative when I feel like it. I'm also taking a video camera to Japan,
so video capture on the camera is not an issue. I can get you more details on these if you want,
otherwise check out: www.dpreview.com - it's awesome for all things digicam.
