Purse Compact
What kind of camera should I get? Compact or DSLR?
So I'm moving to France for 8 months and while I'm exploring Europe I want a decent camera to bring with me. I think my parents are going to buy one for me as a going-away present. I'm not sure how much they're willing to spend. So I'm trying to decide what kind of camera I should get. Originally, I was thinking a decent compact camera would be best. That way I can throw it in my purse while I'm walking around or whatever. I won't have to worry as much about it getting stolen or broken and I won't look as much like a tourist. However, I've always wanted a DSLR. There's just so much more to do with a camera like that. I've always had a strong interest in photography and I know that with a camera like that I could really get into photography like I've always wanted to. My stepdad makes the argument that spending a lot of money on a camera is somewhat pointless because they keep getting better all the time and cheaper too. So I'm torn. I need some advice. Also what brands etc. are best?
For such a trip like that I would actually suggest a DSLR-like camera. The Panasonic Z50 has a lot of feature you would find useful in your trip. First, Panasonic has a great lens (Leica). The Z50 has a great zoom lens and equivalent to a film 35 mm camera that is 35-430 mm. For you to have that in a DSLR, it would cost you twice the price for a DSLR with a standard lens (more than $1000). What is nice about a DSLR is that you can buy a lens that can go to 430 mm, but the Panasonic has it already on its Z50. Chosing between a compact and a DSLR - then if you go somewhere in between, it will be with the Z50. It also has a lot of feature that a DSLR has to offer. Here's a site that might help you choose:

The two DSLR are just for the body only (need to buy lens still). There is also a compact (Olympus 1030 SW) that is a really sturdy camera, if you decided to get a compact. It is shockproof (within reason) and waterproof - which is the most common problem of any digital camera getting messed up. Check out Dell for a good price on the Panasonic. Hope this help.
