Hi,

I'm trying to decide between a Canon SD200/SD300 and a Sony DSC-P150. I find that I look at still pictures much more often than video that I shoot, but sometimes it's really nice to have decent video. With the latest generation of digicams offering 30fps VGA clips, a digicam with good movie mode and extreme portability seems to be what I'm looking for.

The videos I've seen on the web's review sites seem to show the SD200 and SD300 having better looking videos than Sony's DSC-P150. Does anyone have experience with movies for either camera and have an opinion on their quality. Also, all of the movie clips I've seen have been outdoor shots in bright sunlight. Is the movie mode as nice with ambient indoor/evening light?

Thanks in advance for any helpful opinions.

My SD300 seems to do pretty well with videos indoors, although I mostly have taken outdoor videos. Indoors, depending on the light settings, will be more grainy and less bright, but it does allow you to adjust the White Balance, or leave it on Auto.
