- A few hundred dollars
Carrying this while technical climbing, or just hiking/backpacking?
- Hiking/backpacking, 5 days max
Want it to work in cold weather? (Some cameras have capability of an external battery pack with wires - put the battery pack inside your warm clothing to keep it warm.)
- Not for extreme cold
Want something really small? Or is SLR size OK?
- The smaller the better. If it fits comfortably in a pocket I'm more likely to keep it with me.
Thanks!

My thinking was that I wanted something under $300 that I wouldn't have to worry about babying, could take pictures on snowy hikes and climbs (it's waterproof), and would still take decent video and pictures. It's even got a decent panoramic feature.
There are probably newer and better models from Panasonic and other brands now.

My model has a 10x 'optical' zoom, which is supposed to be better than the other kind of zoom.
