Canon SD300, Canon SD450, & SonyP200
I've narrowed my choice to these three; any advise would help enormously.
I want to spend under $350.
I need a camera that will fit comfortably in my pants pocket.
I'll be using it for vacations, family events, weddings & funerals, and probably lots and lots of photos of my family, my dog, and my garden. Rarely will I use it for sports or action shots.
I would like at least 4 megapix: I'll be viewing most pics on computer, but will print some (never larger than 8x10).
Image quality is very important: 8/10. I will not use manual controls often, but would not mind having a camera that I can grow into; meaning, I would like to learn more techniques than I know now, so manual capability would be great.
Had an Olympus, which I loved, but it was stolen. Great photo quality, but too bulky. Taught me to get a camera I'll carry with me.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
