Edit:
Just found out Canon's new SD200 replaces the SD110
- Canon SD200: 5.8 oz, 3.2 megapix, 3x zoom, $300, 640x video, 2.0 LCD
Nice!
I've been reading tons about digital cameras and learning quite a bit. Thanks for all the prior posts given great info. The more I look into these cameras, the more options there seem to be, here's what I'm going for
1. SIZE: Ultracompact, 5-8 oz.
2. QUALITY: High-quality point & shoot for 4x6s, optional larger prints
3. ZOOM: At least 3.0x optical
4. PRICE: Around $250-350
5. VIDEO: Prefer 640x480 resolution
Here's what I've narrowed it down to:
- Sony DSC-L1 (new): 5 oz, 4.1 megapix, 3x zoom, $300, 640x video, 1.5 LCD
- Minolta Dimage X50: 5 oz, 5 megapix, 3x zoom, $400, 320x video, 2.0 LCD
- Canon S500: 6.5 oz, 5 megapix, 3x zoom, $350, 640x video, 1.5 LCD
- Canon SD110: 5.8 oz, 3.2 megapix, 3x zoom, $250, 640x video, 1.5 LCD
- Minolta Dimage Xg: 3.2 megapix, 3x zoom, $300, 320x video, 1.6 LCD
Any recommendations? I'm leaning towards the new DSC-L1 assuming technology gets better with age. Do I need 4 megapix? Any suggestions please!
