It is a "Dave's Pick" editor's choice: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/A3300IS/A3300ISA.HTM
I have a Canon 60D for my main camera and want to pick up a point and shot as a second camera for a upcoming trip to Washington DC, Gettysburg and several other Civil War battle fields.
The two P&S that are within the price range I am looking at are the Nikon Coolpix S6100 and the Canon A3300.
The cons I see on the S6100 is there is noise at all ISO settings. It also has touch screen that doesn't impress me, but I can live with that.
I couldn't find a lot of info on the A3300 other than the buttons are flat and hard to use.
This will be the first P&S I will be buying for myself and I know very little about them.
Any advise would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Wayne
