Budget

Around $300.

Size

Small. I want to be able to easily fit in in a pocket. I travel a lot on like school trips and that. I want it to be right there all the time.

Features

Around 4-5 megapixels

Image quality should be decent. I am not taking professional photographs here though.

Manual controls are a plus. Don't really need them.

General Usage

Mainly used for people shots, scenery. Things like that.

No big prints or that.

A mixture of all settings. Indoors, outdoors. Wherever.


The biggest concern is size. I was looking at like the Sony DSC-T7 or like the Casio Exilim, I just don't know how good they are.

You should read the excellent reviews they have on this website. (You dont have to read them.. just skip to the bottom where they have the image tests and then compare the galleries)

I just ordered a Canon SD630. Cheaper alternatives are the SD600 or SD500 (SD= Compact). I did lots of research and my recommendation is to get a Canon camera.
