Fuji X30
My journey to find the best compact camera for me has (hopefully) finally ended. I really liked the image quality of the 1" Sony sensor in the Canon G7X, but I found the controls too simplistic, and the focus system was not nearly fast enough to catch any moving subjects, nor would it allow the kind of macro photos I enjoy taking. I loved my Olympus XZ-2, but wanted a viewfinder. Instead of buying the add on, I decided to sell it and pick up the X30 instead. It has all of the features I want - EVF, flip screen, manual controls, fast and sharp lens, excellent macro mode and great build quality. The sensor isn't as up-to-date as some of the other compacts, but it seems to do well enough to ISO 800. Since I only print 5x7 or 8x10, I think this camera will be just fine. And of course there is the intangible benefit, it just makes me want to go out and shoot :-)
