front pocket I carried a Nikon Coolpix S6100,carried if for a few years dropped it last winter and it was cold and the lenses cover didn't close and scratched the lenses , it still takes good pictures as long as there no sunshine hitting the lenses. Bought 2new Nikon Coolpix S6400 on Amazon on a sales for about $150 less for each then they usually retail for, but that was a one day deal. It has a 12x zoom , it what I took the big horn sheep pictures with , but It has a lot more functions then I have figured out yet.
my wife takes a camera bag with a SLR Canon Rebel , but she has a few interchangeable lenses and can do a lot more things.
