UKC

I'm going to change my compact camera and I was looking at these two. I'm pretty much a point and shoot guy but I'd like the option of some creative controls. I like the timelapse option on the Nikon but the sensor is much larger in the Canon. I appreciate that these are entry level models. Is it worth going for this type of camera?. I don't want a full DSLR as they are too bulky and heavy for me. Any experience or advice welcome.

Lot of love for the sony rx100 out there, had a brief play with my brother's camera and the pictures are good, night time and star photography are possible.

They are on the M4 now but the original is still available at £300

I tried one but preferred the Lumix.

Sorry if it is still too pricey for you.
