My phone died at a concert in Austin and I had to use a friend's old point-and-shoot.

The photos were way better than my usual blurry phone shots. Now I'm thinking about getting a proper camera for trips. Anyone have a good compact camera recommendation under $300?

Austin concerts have a way of making you spend money, first on tickets and now on a camera.

ellis.victor mentioned the ELPH 180 battery lasting forever, which reminds me of a buddy of mine who took a similar Canon on a road trip through the desert. He left it in his glove box for like three months and when he pulled it out for a hike it still had half a charge. He got some killer shots of a sunset over the canyon that his phone would have totally ruined.

Check out the Canon PowerShot ELPH 180. Got mine for $120 used and it fits in a jacket pocket. The battery lasts forever compared to a phone.
