Im looking for a high-grade point & shoot camera that is easy to use, but professional when needed.
I originally wanted the Panasonic Lumix LX2, but it has way too much noise.
I then went to the canon S80, but I feel like its going to be replaced fairly soon, and 8MP on cameras, although high, within a year will be considered "average"
I then looked at the new canon SD900, but the sample images weren't that impressive for a 10MP camera, and it isn't getting great reviews.
Im looking for a sub-compact, high MP camera (10 would be perfect, but i would settle with 8) that is easy to use & has advanced features when necessary, and is around $500.00 range. I print pictures every now and then, so quality needs to look good around 8X10 size, and just as good on the computer (around 2048X1536) Videos are a plus, but not a must.
If i ruled out all my choices but denying the only cameras that'd fit me, what ones (LX2, S80, SD900) are the best? Or are there others one i missed? I typically go for canons, because i feel nikons & olympus' are cheap feeling (excluding the SLRs), sony's & kodak's are more for play/teenagers, so im stuck with Canon, who ive always used, and panasonic, who im still sketchy about. Im not getting the camera until december-ish, so if any cameras are coming out that would be good, details would be appreciated.
