My daughter is going to India for two weeks for her job. I don' t want her to lug around her DSLR so I am asking for advice on what kind of digital camera she could bring along that is not bulky and would fit easily into her purse. She is the type to just shoot kids, birthdays, and other such events. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Buy one of the Nikon "A" cameras on sale for $485

Or get a Canon S110 for $185

the Canon S110 for $185 is a killer deal and it fits in a small pocket

the inputs here are cost and size of her pockets; also lens interchangeability or an attached zoom & ergonomics

the very best big pocket camera is Sony RX100M3, followed closely by a Canon model... is it the GX7?

check dpreview for details and there is a web site that allows you to put pics of different cameras side by side

Ricoh GR - fantastic, no viewfinder, 28mm only
RX100 - all around good and versatile, somewhat small sensor, three iterations for different budgets
X100 - great stills, poor video, 35mm only, three iterations for different budgets
S110 - tiny, cheap, versatile, small sensor
GM1 - great stills and video, interchangeable lenses

Nothing beats iPhone. Anything else is superfluous.

X100s. I bought one, said yuck and returned it. .....then I missed it and bought one again. The menu blows and it's not exactly user friendly, but once it's dialed in it really is a very nice point and shoot.

It doesn't sound like max quality is a major driver, but convenience and portability. Based on that assumption, I would go with the RX100 (any version) if price is no object, or something cheap and simple like a used Nikon P330 (love the built in GPS).

Another vote for Sony RX100. Mine is Mk2 but out on the sunny day I would prefer having the Mk3 with integrated viewfinder.

Love the Canon S series. If I didn't already have an S100, I'd jump all over the S110 on special for $179 everywhere.

Here's another vote for the Canon S 95, 100, 110 and 120. That takes in new, used and refurbished or remaindered from the Canon Store website. On our trip to Amsterdam last year my S100 was invaluable nesting in my pocket during some surprise rainstorms. Once inside the various museums, etc, that skinny little compoact camera is a gem and quite a comfortable image maker in almost any indoor ambient lighting and, of course, easily outdoors.
