In the marked for a decent robust outdoors camera which won't break the bank...
Any recommendations?
Cheers,
N

How big is your bank?

For stills or an action camera (lots of which take stills as well)? Garmin virb's have been £75 and I bet will be again in the Jan sales.

I use my Samsung Galaxy S5, takes amazing photos for a phone.

Same as Gabes. For 90% of the time my phone will take as good a picture as any other of my cameras.
If I were buying another compact have a look at the Canon 95

Probably do everything you want and good price at the moment

Im thinking about getting the Olympus TG-4, as it may be the perfect adventure camera and suit all my general holiday needs when my iPhone isn't going to cut it.
I had originally looked at the Nikon Aw130, but while more expensive the Olympus comes out far better.

Thanks for the advice...
Not sure of budget but don't really want to spend more than 150/200... My Iphone 4 is OK but not as good as the newer ones.
Would be nice to have something that does wideangle as well as regular... not sure if this exists! Showing how little I know about cameras now!

Tommid's suggestion of the TG-4 is a good one. Mike of this manor uses one and gets some cracking pictures.

I have a Panasonic ft4, I like it. There's probably a better newer one out now.
