Just looking for opinions on a good point and shoot camera for taking pics of the fam and details. I read on cnet the canon sd1100 scored well but havnt heard any "real" opinions.


Open to any manufacter and price.

thanx

I use a Canon A80 but it's discontinued I believe. It's about 2-3 years old. Canon's pretty solid from what I've experienced . Sony's are nice too.

not going to like to you...a lot of the Nikons suck. Sony's sometimes have funny auto WB issues. I like the digital elph quite a bit. I think I am going to be getting one in the following weeks.

DUDE... CANON hands down.. i had SD400 point and shoot.. now I have CANON EOS30D.. DUDE dont even confuse yourself like I did.. I did alot of research and Im glad I picked CANON.. Quality is superb.. Best place to look for is B&H photo and video. I bought my stuff there and very reliable also.. Any models on CANON for Point and shoot should be ok for your needs... Check COSTCO for deals also... If you check where NIKON is made and CANON, you would easily pick CANON cause its made in JAPAN..

haha j/m im a NIKON user myself, however their Point n shoots mite not be great, i woudlnt know..Their DSLR's PWN though =)

if i'm not lugging around my SLR then ill usually cary my sony point n shoot, been buying them for years now and dont have too much of an issue with it. Canons point n shoots are REALLY good (ugh, i hate how i have to say that), but u also pay a good $.


I guess it depends on what you want to spend, what your going to use it for and its application. I know any SLR will shoot 10000x better than a point n shoot, so when i buy a point n shoot i usually try to get something convenient and fast, at the same time not expecting too much either.

i dont think its worth it for me to pay more than $300 or so for a point n shoot..even though the more expensive ones are really good , jus imagine that ur only a few bucks a way from slr's

so.without that being said, take it with a grain of salt...

my recommendation, sony/casio = mid range, canon = high, nikon (n/a..havent used)

I have a Canon G9 that I use when I don't feel like lugging my dSLR around.

I've been very happy with it, though some may find it a little heavy for a point and shoot.

I have an S3-IS, it's pretty nice, the S5-IS is out now and is worth looking into.

Canon A series. I have a A640 I believe.
