to purchase a secondary camera that meets the following
criteria: 1) Compact enough to be inconspicuous for street
photography. 2) Simple enough that I can hand it to a
friend/family member (of a variety of ages) and they can
participate on a shoot with little explanation from me and/or
frustration from them. 3) Inexpensive without sacrificing image
quality.  share|improve this question While this is certainly an
important question for a lot of people, there are two things
that make it difficult to answer well. 1) Subjectivity --there
are many cameras that meet most if not all of your criteria;
answers will likely be anecdotal in nature and not objective. 2)
Up-to-dateness --Camera technology is a fast-changing arena. A
camera review site like or would probably provide more objective
and current information. –  Sean Sep 12 '
