Budget
$500.00
Size
The smaller the better
Features
How many megapixels will suffice for you?
7+
* What optical zoom will you need? (None, Standard = 3x-4x, Ultrazoom = 10x-12x, Other - Specify)
Standard, but a little more would be nice.
* How important is “image quality” to you? (Rate using a scale of 1-10)
8-9
Do you care for manual controls?
I would really like manual controls if possible.
General Usage
* What will you generally use the camera for?
Lots of simle shots for the Internet, but also some sports shots and scenery. Some indoor with poor lighting
* Will you be making big prints of your photos or not?
Maybe, but not many
Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos?
Yes
Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos?
Yes
Miscellaneous
Are there particular brands you like or hate?
I like the Canon, and the Casio. Some of the Sonys also
Are there particular models you already have in mind?
SD900, SD800IS, Cybershot N2, I like the Exilim's but don't know anything about them.
(If applicable) Do you need any of the following special features? (Wide Angle, Image Stabilization, Weatherproof, Hotshoe, Rotating LCD)
Not really sure about IS, is it necessary for something with less than 4x optical zoom? Wida Angle maybe. Don'r need the others, not even sure what Hotshoe is:) . But more features are always good.
The three above are what I have been most looking at. The Canons are probably my favorite. I don't know if the SD900 is worth an extra 100 bucks. Especially since you lose ther IS. Is the Sony as good as the Canons? Better? And how do the Exilim cameras compare? What are some other options for me that maybe I haven't seen yet? I like the small size though, or I probably would have an S3-IS already.
Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks
