I don’t do video, just stills. I like to pack rugged, small and light. Kind of like my opinion of "best bike" it’s whatever I’ve got now. My old Olympus C-7000 was great until it just became too unreliable. I now have a Nikon S-630.
If I’m in a serious photography mood and feel like packing some weight, I go 35mm with my Nikon 8008 and 24-120 zoom. Not much on the long range, but it has a great wide angle that suits my photography style.
