Need New Point-and-Shoot Digi Cam...

Has anyone ever purchased merchandise from this website? -->http://www.techondigital.com/product...ductid=DSCT300

They have the digital camera I want at a pretty deep discount compared to other places, both online and in physical stores. Thanks!

I know Canon is the camera of choice for a lot of the DSLR guys, but do they hold the same rep for Point-and-shoot digital cameras as well?

Go take a look at the model/make of camera you want on amazon.com and read what the people who have purchased them say. Canon pretty much owns the P&S market, with some exceptions.

Sony and Casio have some great P&S cameras!

I've always bought Sony cameras, but I figured I'd try a new brand. My brother has a Canon DSLR that he loves, so I'm going to try a Canon P&S.

No Costco in my area, so I'll have to try Wally World. I need the camera tonight, so I can't wait to order online.

I think a few people had really good results with the Canon 870IS

I like the Canon Powershot Elphs -- I have an SD550, got my daughter an SD1100IS.

For DSLR though, I prefer Nikon.

You certainly can't go wrong with Canon but be sure to keep an open mind and try out other brands too. Do your research first before you buy. A great place to go with tons of information is www.dpreview.com Check out their forums and camera reviews.

In the point and shoot market, Sony pretty much makes all of the chips that other brands use. The major exception is Canon.

So choose between those two makes. Keep in mind Sony likes to go proprietary, so I think the majority of their cameras use MemoryStick, whereas Canon's will use CF and SD.
