Post your compact camera photos!

Having been advised to not take my normal cameras with me to El Salvador for security reasons, feeling naked without any camera with me, I purchased a Panasonic FZ60 at the airport for about £180, figuring that if somebody decided they wanted my camera or my life and the camera, that I would just hand it over. We have two armed guards with us, and there were no issues as we explored the waterfront at Puerto de la Libertad, and the Pier. The advantage of the FZ60 is that while still very pocketable, it has full manual control, and shoots raw, yet fits into a shirt pocket. Noise performance is nothing close to my normal cameras, but I'm reasonably happy.

They held a WSL tour event there earlier this year.

It can be a dicey place after dark especially.

The surfMovie BigWednesday was mostly shot there in the mid 70s...they built a set to resemble Malibu in the 60s.

Some of that movie was also shot in Hawaii too and I know a guy who took the wipeOuts at Sunset beach as a stuntman...U$ 500 was big money back then for starving surfers on the NthShore of Oahu.
