Canon Powershot Point And Shoot
Which of the following would you recommend for budget point and shoot digital camera?
I’m buying a gift for a 14 year old with a budding interest in photography. Looking to smart small and then invest more if I see it is something they want to pursue with more interest. I’ve narrowed a short list to Samsung SL 420, Nikon Coolpix S620, and Canon Powershot SD1200. Or if you have any other suggestions in the sub-$200 price range (preferably sub-$150). Thanks for your wisdom and knowledge.
My first choice is Canon SD1200 and the second choice is Nikon S620
Canon Powershot Point And Shoot
Nikon vs. Canon digital point and shoot.?
I’m looking to buy a new point and shoot digital camera and aren’t sure which to pick, here are the specs:
Nikon Coolpix S620
12.2 MP
4x Optical Zoom
2.7in HighRes LCD
4 way image stabilization
$159.99
Canon PowerShot SD7801S
12.1MP
3x Optical 4x Digital Zoom
2.5in PureColor LCD
Optical image stabilization
$179.99
I’m not sure which is the best for me, I’m just looking for general photograph capabilities people, scenes, landscape, some macro/micro, but nothing complicated…both seem like great choices but neither is the clear cut winner. Which do you think is the best? If you have a different suggestion please include the specs and price, as well as the link where I can find it. THANKS!!!
You are right there is no clear cut winner. Of the two I’d vote for the Canon SD780 IS. But right now for real value I’d be buying the Canon SD1200 IS. Both cameras have very good image quality, but the SD1200 IS is $150+shipping at Newegg on line and 10 bucks more +shipping at Beach Camera a reputable camera store on line.
