Need recommendation for tilt-screen compact camera!

[pokechen]

Hello everyone,

I am going travelling this summer and would like to invest in a good compact camera. Wonder if anyone has any suggestions - here are some of the features I would like it to have aside from the usual "basic" requirements of having good resolution/pixels/etc etc

1. Flip screen LCD (for a self-portrait sort of tilt screen because I was planning a solo trip to europe and it would be very useful!)
2. Wide angle capabilities
3. Beautiful colours of the pictures

I was looking at Sony NEX 3N or Sony NEX 5N, does anyone have any experience with them??

They come in 16-50mm lens which (i think ) is pretty wide angle?

Or the Olympus TG-850

My budget is about SGD$600~ ! The lower the better but i dont want to compromise on quality.

Many many many thanks!!!!

NEX 3N and 5N are both good cameras with APS-C sensors and the lens that comes with should be wide enough for most occasions but if you are not looking to expand your lens collection in the future i would recommend getting a real compact or a bridge like sony RX 100 or canon G16
