Looking to buy a camera to take on Vacation?
I'm going on vacation to another country and I'm looking for a camera that can take decent pictures and has decent zoom. At this point in time I pretty much only use my iPhone camera but I used to have a Cybershot that is getting quite old (7 years) and it is only 8 megapixel, 5x optical zoom, and it takes those annoying old Sony memory sticks.
I want something that is fairly easy to use and not huge because I do not want to be the person lugging a tripod around or worrying about my camera all the time (having to have it hang around my neck where it could easily break). Having said that I don't know about those indestructible ones because I'm not planning on swimming with my camera either.
I don't know much about cameras/photography please help!
Added (1). Does anyone know of any older models that I could buy off Amazon cheaper? I'm okay spending $280 on a camera but I know I might be better off getting a model that is a year old or something.
A Nikon Coolpix S3200 is inexpensive and has 6 x zoom and 16 megapixels. It's good enough for me
Go to canonusa.com
choose one in your price range
and the features you want
then find it cheaper online
Nikon Coolpix L610
Use 2 AA batteries so no overseas power Adapter required.
$139.95 @ Amazon, w/free shipping
See link below
Canon SX260 is best for you. Its price is approximately $298 - $446. Its 12mega pixel and 20x zoom. Zoom of any camera is important thing more than pixel.
A Canon SX260.

- Will my iphone 4 work in Scotland while I'm on vacation? I live in Texas and I'm going to Scotland--will my iPhone 4 work? I just learned I will be able to connect through Wi-Fi. Does that mean I can use twitter?
- Which camera is better: An old General Imaging x500 Digital Camera or an iPhone 7 front camera? It looks like an iPhone only offers 7 MP while this camera boasts 16 MP but this camera is so old and looks worse at least on its own screen. I'm confused
- What camera to get for vacation? I'm going on vacation to Mexico and I want a camera cuz I plan on going to a lot of different places. I take pictures with my iPhone daily but I know it's crap compared to a decent camera. I don't go on vacation often so I don't want to spend more than $200 so hopefully that will get me a decent camera. I'm not a pro so if you guys have some suggestions on what cameras are good during the day and night I would appreciate that.
- Using my iPhone on vacation? I was wondering if I turn my iPhone 5 on airplane mode for 2 weeks, will I be charged anything? And if I turn on Wi-Fi during that time will I be charged for Internet?
