I tried to scale down to a smaller camera -- somewhere in between the ones with changeable lenses and a camera phone -- and went on a friend's recommendation. Unfortunately, it didn't have a view finder, and trying to use only the screen to frame photos was problematic. Under any type of sunlight, the screen was unreadable. If I went that route again, the camera would have to have to have a view finder, but these smaller format ones are nice to pull out when you're confronted with a particularly nice scene, and they're easy to travel with.

I haven't explored much of Italy outside of Rome, but of course the paintings and photos of the countryside show that it also has a lot to offer. I hoe you can visit it, too!
