m in the market for a new camera. I want an ultra compact camera that can be used for just taking out, vacation, and just general use. A snap-shop/ point-and shoot. My budget is between $200-300.
One important thing for in the camera are reliability. I want it to be able to last a few years, and not break on me. I dont want it to have small buggy problems. I want to be able to whip out whenever I want be able to take a picture with out something going wrong. It should be able to stand up to the use and abuse a mobile and active teen lifestyle.
It also has to be ergonomic. I dont want the thing to be awkward to hold. Controles should be easy to use. The menue system should also be intuitive. I dont want to have to go through 8 or 9 submenues to get to what I want. THe menue should be easy to navigate.
Image quality doesnt have to be amazing, but it should be good. The camera should be able to take decent pics in both indoor and outdoor. Basically, generally all around decent picture quality in varying enviroments. Also, a few scene modes would be nice.
Finally, I want the camera to be sexy. Looks matter. I would like the camera to be small, thin, light weight, have a big LCD screen, and look fashionable.
So if you could help me out with which of the following cameras i've narrowed it down to that fits all these or suggest something else , I would greatly appreciate it.
The cameras I like so far are:
Canon PowerShot SD600
Casio Exilim EX-Z750
Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W50
Fujifilm FinePix V10
Thanks in advance.
