not sure which forum to put this in....but my sister wants a compact camera(that she can easily put in her purse) that can take short video...and so on..her friend just got a canon powershot s400 and now my sister likes it a lot. what is the best compact camera like this?
My old roomie has that camera and it's amazing. I would highly recommend it if you have the $$ to spend and want something small:)
i got the canon sd100, it's pretty good :)
any of the canon digital elph line are good, as well as the new super slim fujifilm one.
I work for Wolf Camera, and I agree that the Fujis are pretty decent cameras.Quote:

The only thing is, they try to tell you that the camera is a 6MP camera, when really it's just a 3MP interpolated.
But for the money, they're pretty good.
I think the best value out there right now is the Canon S50. $499.95, same price (or close) to the S400 but with 5 million pixels.
BTW I am not trying to sell anyone on a camera, I wouldn't see a dime of it unless you actually came in my store. :D
I think newegg.com is selling the S50 for 448 Bucks at this point of time.
The S50 is great. I still think that is small enough to fit in a purse and take a great shot.
I do not like the S400 and the SD100 as much becuase I feel they are trying to go as small as possible with the camera. Even I feel that a Canon S50 is a little to small.
See, I'm the exact opposite...I wear cargo pants, and now carry: cell phone (samsung A460 i believe it's called), a pair of sunglasses, my S400, Dell Axim, and a set of Sennheiser PX200s, in addition to my standard wallet, keys, ID cards, pens, etc. Having the S400 lets me slip it into a normal pocket, and keep the cargo pockets for other things.Quote:

of course, quality will drop as size drops but anybody going with the elph line will expect this and will prefer it rather than carrying a brick arround (like me)Quote:
