Looking for sleek new small digital camera
Any recs?
Im currently looking at the Cannon ELPH....SD780
I have a SLR, this is just more of an everyday use camera!
Thanks
Re: Looking for sleek new small digital camera
I love my Canon Elph! I use it at least 4-5 times a week. It's easy to use and turns on and takes a picture pretty quickly. The Elphs also have color accents so you can only have one color showing and the rest being B&W, it's a nice little extra. I highly recommend Canon.
ETA: Like the lady below me says, the zoom on point and shoot cameras are usually 3x, 4x at max, though these cameras weren't made to get up close and personal. Canons use a SD memory card which are easy to find and are getting cheaper (2 GB for $10-$15). Sony uses a memory stick pro duo, which is harder to find and a little more expensive (2 GB for $20-$25). Remember the more megapixels doesn't necessarily mean the better photo, unless you are planning to really enlarge it. Any camera that is being sold now has more than enough megapixels to take good quality everyday pictures. Also the more megapixels you have the more memory each picture is going to take up on your memory card.
We got a Pentax Optio E70 a couple weeks ago, and it's really nice. We're hitting Europe next week (OMG NEXT WEEK OMG) and our old one takes an SD card which isn't manufactured anymore, so we kind of had to get a new one.
The lenses are fairly clear, and there are a billion different settings for optimal picture taking. I used the 'kids' setting last weekend for my nephew's peewee football game, and it does action shots fairly well. It also has an indicator on the zoom slider for when you go past the optic zoom capability into the digital zoom, which is really nice. It also takes movies!
It was also relatively cheap at $130-ish. With an 8 gig SD card it takes 1800 best picture quality photos or an hour and a half of best quality video before we have to put in a different card.
