Canon Ixus and Casio Exilim with 5MP are good and reliable. Both uses SD memory cards. Presently the prices of these two brands are moving down and affordable. But still look around for comparison. Cheers
I am looking to get a new compact-ish point and shoot dcam and considering either the Canon A520 or either of the Nikon 5600/5900 models.
My criteria for decision is based on:
Liking the grip the two models offer in their shape (want good cam hand feel)
Ability to take good pics in low light, particularly at night.
Doesn't chew through batteries and can 're-charge' easily in other countries where voltage is different and not always compatible. (not sure if all a/c adapters are worldwide compatible these days)
Good size base memory card
Compatible with Window 2000 Pro. Noticed many of the reviews state that you need XP.
Megapixel size isn't too important, I'm a hobby-ist, although I want to buy the most for my $.
Any comments?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
