*** Note : £1 = $1.30
The way camera technology is progressing these days makes it possible to get fantastic technology in cameras that are classed as budget. In fact, if you have around £250/$325 to spend on a camera, you can get your hands on some pretty decent kit. Take a look at our ten suggestions below.
1. Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ70 
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ70 isn’t brand-new but it’s still a cracking compact that’s well-worth considering. At 1p under our £250 mark, it just scrapes into our list where it takes the top spot. Why? Well, there aren’t many pocketable compact cameras that have both a 30x optical zoom lens, and an electronic viewfinder, or LVF as Panasonic call it. The TZ70 has all the features you’d want from a travel camera and doesn’t disappoint in terms of its image quality. The camera has full manual controls, and shooting RAW didn’t slow the camera down. The LVF is a handy extra that you don’t see on many compact cameras and its addition will appeal to many, as there are many photographers who much prefer to compose shots using a viewfinder rather than the screen. Overall, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ70 offers plenty, for a reasonable price.
