Doing some research for a mate. Anyone have any recommendations of a reasonably compact digital camera. Thinking approx USD $300-$400. Open to second hand options. Preferably something that has decent auto exposure functions, has a sharp lens and that is reasonably versatile i.e portraiture, landscape, some actions shots etc. My knowledge of cameras is limited to SLR's so thought I'd check here for suggestions. Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: Sony rx100 range sounds good. Anyone tried these out?
