due to an unfortunate event at NerdQuake involving Lisa's cute friend, a vodka soda and my not so nimble hands my cannon sd600 is no longer in active duty. I need another camera but I think I want something a little nicer but still somewhat portable. Any suggestions?
Something that isn't as big as an slr and not as small as a compact camera is the Canon S3 IS. I own it and it takes great pictures. I highly recommend it.
thanks for all the suggestions. anyone have any good ideas about something a step up from point and shoot?
Canon Digital Rebel XTi http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/C ... os400d.asp not terribly portable, but definitely a step up from point and shoot.
Everyones lovin' canon eh? this is the best cam. out right now for cost size options and functions IMO. NIKON d40 ...or if you NEED a canon the new XT it okay
that's two posts i've seen in as many days I'm getting an SLR in about a month or so, and the Canon Rebel XTi is also really great. I agree though moco..the D40x is a great camera as well!
if you want to go SLR, I can recommend the Nikon D200. My buddy just got a D80 for his trip to peru, and the pictures came out stellar. Definitely not portable, and you can spend a small fortune on lenses. Most times I need to snap something though, i end up pulling out the trusty canon SD500.
Might I suggest if your going to be around your Wifes cute clumsy freinds on a regular basis - some sort of underwater housing ot keep liquids off of it.....
