Best compact < 400€

[jack03]

Hi.

What is IQ-wise the best compact camera with a zoom covering 35-50mm or a fix focal around 35-40mm (35mm eq.) and possibility of aperture-priority?
Unfortunately Sony's kit zooms are too big and Panasonic's pancake is too expensive.

Which one would you prefer Olympus XZ-1 or Samsung EX1? Are there more to consider?



PS: I have a Fuji F70EXR but the images look very "smeary" - or I am spoiled by DSLR - and it only got some sort of "pseudo-aperture-priority".

Maybe this is what you are looking for. Price unknown though. It could be in your range, maybe.

Looks interesting...

I think quality won't be the issue but rather the price...
