Hi all, I would like some advise in choosing which camera to buy. There are only 2 cameras left on my list. The obvious difference between the two cameras is their size. As I'm a traveller, that's a big pro.
The only thing I'm concerned of is the difference in image quality. If it's not too big, my choice is the TZ1, otherwise the H2.
Is there a big difference or not?
Budget
Around 400$
Size
The smaller the better, but I always wear a backpack, so size isn't THAT important
Features
How many megapixels will suffice for you?
At least 5mp
* What optical zoom will you need?
Ultrazoom
* How important is “image quality” to you?
Very important
Do you care for manual controls?
No
General Usage
* What will you generally use the camera for?
Travel pictures mainly, but also some indoor shots probably
* Will you be making big prints of your photos or not?
Max 20x30 cm, or 1 size bigger. No poster format.
Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos?
Most outside in daylight
Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos?
Hardly
Miscellaneous
Are there particular brands you like or hate?
I'm choosing between Pana TZ1 and Sony H2!!!
