Canon Powershot Sd850 Is
Digital cameras: Casio, Canon, Panasonic …?

I had a Casio Exilim 10MP (I have it at Halloween). If less than three months, and the lens jammed in position (like I was going to take a picture) – not re-enter said this – I had to return it. Now, I have store credit to buy a camera … These are that I can choose (within my budget) Same Casio Exilim 10MP (try) or Canon Powershot A650 IS (12MP) Canon Powershot SD850 IS (8MP) Panasonic DMC-FZ18 (8MP) Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55 (8MP) Any advice out there? I have two children under two and I use my camera to them mostly. Scores and lots of photos, action sequences, photos fast, and lots of video clips … PLEASE HELP! Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

I personally choose a Canon because of its reputation and its position as a leader. However, considering that those cameras are in the same price range, have almost the same feature set so any would. The Panasonic DMC-FZ18 looks very good and is probably the best thing you can do there, because it is a "bridge" camera, ie, a compact crossover between P / C and a digital SLR. It should give better performances than the point of compact cameras and stems (ie, less delay between shots, due to better resolution of larger sensor, better noise control, etc) Good luck!
