Canon

I just bought this. Canons are great, I have an SD200 but dropped it and broke the flash.

I have a Kodak EasyShare CX7300. It's pretty good.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Thanks guys. Ill check these out.

So, what should one take into condiseration when purchasing a camera? Megapixels? Zoom?

Pic taking for the laymen btw, no professional shit obviously. Im sure 7 megapixels is more than enough, no?

Also, it seems like Canon has great reviews througout their entire lineup.

at some point megapixels become pointless, and more important is the light sensitivity (for concerts and nighttime, otherwise it'll be blurry and grainy as shit), and if the zoom is optical or digital... optical being the better.

Digital zoom works somewhat like in CSI, where they zoom in on a blurry black and white picture of the bad guy and go "computer, create pixels. enhance. contrast. Tint. Colour. and suddenly create a vivid full colour 3d image that can be rotated around so they notice the scar on the back of his neck that fits a vague description from a crazy hobo dude.

Yeah, I think I have made up my mind on the brand being Canon. Now I just have to bite the bullet and decide which one.

And the one chromatose owns... Fujifilm something.

It's a Panasonic Lumix! It's nice but I like my Sony Cybershot better, doesn't wash faces out as much as his. Doesn't Thanatopsis/king of photos have a Sony Cybershot?

Derick had a Canon Powershot for years though and it was always a great camera til a lil button on it broke. Seeing as how it was ancient he just got the new camera.
