it's cool.....i love my camera but i'm gonna upgrade it soon.

I have a Z750 as my pocket cam, and I love it. Mind you, most of the time I'm shooting with my own Rebel XT or work's 20D. But the 750 (and now the 850) has fantastic manual controls, good optical quality, and is generally a great little powerful cam for the money.

I'm die hard Canon, but the SD500 just didn't cut it for me - no manual controls. I don't care how small a cam is, I want manual so I can do cool motion blur shots without having to play with different "shooting modes". Casio provides that.

I do think the low-light images on the Casio need work, as they have more noise than I would like, but at ISO800, all digi's exponentially decrease in quality.

I just bought a brand new Casio EX-Z750 for $268!!!

sonnyg80

speaking of casio p&s cameras...i'm looking to get a new one and been checking out a couple of the casio's - ex-z60 , ex-s770. Quality of pics seem good (sis has the z60) and styling is an added bonus.

What are your guys' opinions on those n any other suggestions? i'm knowledgeable on digi cams but far from a pro like some of you..

i'd be using it for day to day stuff - car pics, outings/trips, parties, etc.

I don't have too much experience with Casios, but I know their "anti-shake" system isn't all that special. All it does is boost the ISO so you can shoot with a faster shutter speed, of course at the expense of added noise. In good lighting, their cameras are pretty good though.

I just returned a Panasonic FX07 - horrible colors and a ton of noise, just replaced it with a CANON SD800 IS yesterday. The few pics I have taken so far are much much better than the panny. I would strongly advise against the FX07.

Actually I was overall fairly happy with my EX-750.
The movie mode was absolutely incredible. Fantastic video quality,and the mic kicked ass. I would kill for a canon to have the video ability of the 750 (including the compression)

The white balance was a little flaky though, and the wide angle of the SD800Is will make it my new compact digicam.

It is quite astounding how incredibly sold-out the SD800 is at the moment, btw.

I'm looking around at a new compact digital. What do you guys think of this Sony?

Any other suggestions? I just take normal point and shoot photos, but I want to get the best compact thats out there...Thanks...

joerockt

lol, thanks for the help guys

dom

Canon. Although I'm biased.

This is the only review I've seen of the N2: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/N2/N2A.HTM

It looks decent enough, but I'd probably want a viewfinder of some sort. Some people never use them, so they might prefer the bigger screen instead.

Moog-Type-S

The touch-screen is a big deal breaker for this camera...IMHO.

joerockt

Why's that?? Elaborate...

Perhaps, maybe because Sony is the first P&S digital camera that offers touch screen

Speed_Racer

Why is that? I'm curious, because Sony's touchscreens on their camcorders work great.

Moog-Type-S

I have a Sony Camcorder that has touch-screen....it's not bad per se, but in alot of cases a couple of buttons/arrow keys would be better than jumping through a bunch of sub-menus on the touch-screen. Not to mention the smudges all over the lcd screen due to the touch-screen. If the touch-screen gets damaged you're done....it's a bit more fragile than a couple of buttons/arrow keys.

JediMindTricks

anyone have any personal experiences with the sony dsc-t10? i'm deciding on that or the canon 800is...

I just bought a "ultra compact" P&S tonight. What is everyone using for protective cases? I'm not looking for something bulky. Mainly something to protect it from being scratched up as this camera will probably be with me just about every day in my pocket.

waTSX

^^Tamrac, Lowepro and other companies make a variety of cases that will fit your camera. Best Buy, Circuit City or any camera store should have a good selection.

TLover8888

how much did you pay for the canon? and where?

einsatz

My pant pocket. I used to keep my SD550 and now my SD700IS in my pocket - sometimes I have my chap stick in there, too... I haven't had any problems, and it's always within quick reach without having any bulky stuff. I try to keep it with the LCD facing inside. In the car I usually leave it in the cup holder. It closes fine with it inside.

I'm thinking about using the cloth "case" that comes with Oakley sunglasses. It won't protect it from getting smashed but it'll keep it from being scratched.

I just ordered the Fuji F30, it seems to have good reviews (dcresource.com) especially for its low light pictures and long battery life. Plus, Fuji is currently offering a $50 rebate.

Canon SD750 and SD1000 announced.

rather have the canon sd800IS...need the optical image stabilization

srika

Sony now makes a 12.1 MP ultra-compact.. WTF???

12.1MP for digital camera
they must be marketting on people who thinks more-mega-pixel > less-mega-pixel

bgsm1th

Fellow photo nerds -
The misses just dropped our camera for the last time...and broke it...
so, the search for a new one has begun.

We are looking at either the Nikon S50c, or one of the Canon SD's
Gotta say, I like the Nikon - Slim, huge screen (3') , wifi, 7.1mp
But I've always had good luck with Canon, so I'm hard-pressed to leave.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

danny25

I'm admittedly biased because I've only had Canons, but that's because I've always been happy with their products and they're always reviewed highly... so I say go with the SD800.

bgsm1th

Thanks Danny.

Does anyone else have any insight?

srika

oh geez did you all see this? SD950... 12.1MP...

Damn. My poor 700IS is so obsolete...

TLover8888

i'll be more than happy to take that off your hands

srika

fixed.

The G9 looks great! It would make for a great alternative when you don't want to take the SLR with you.

jupitersolo

dpreview already has pictures up for the G9. Pictures taken with the G9.

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0708/07082005canong9.asp

Look at the green sentence under the first paragraph. Pretty good.

waTSX

It's a very appealing SLR alternative. Canon must've taken a helluva lot of flack for pulling RAW functionality from the G7.

waTSX

The pics look excellent, though I notice most are shot at ISO 80. The ones shot at ISO 200 look really smooth. At ISO 400 they look a tad grainy, but not bad at all, and there was probably little, if any, PP done. IIRC, one of the beefs with the G7 was less than stellar higher ISO performance, though I suspect that was overblown.

The G9 looks like a winner.
