Maco Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Well as i put up already what kind of point and shoot cameras are worth getting?Thanks -mac Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The camera I always use to take all of the pics I post is my sister's camera and it's a Nikon Coolpix, 3.7 I think. If you want to see what kind of pics it takes, look at either of the threads linked in my sig. Pg. 3 on the 16g thread is a good place to start. Link to comment
wabbit Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 +1 on the coolpix. I have had the coolpix3100 for at least 4 years now. I think it takes better pics than my wifes 5 megapixel kodak. My avatar was taken with the coolpix (not retouched). Link to comment
thelastmucci Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm by no means a photo guru like some people on this site...but I got a Samsung Digimax s800 for christmas and it's fantastic. I have no clue how to use photoshop so for me the camera taking the good pictures first was a plus. Lots of manual features too if you like to fiddle..BUY.com had it for about 100 I think but it may have gone back up to 250. HTH Link to comment
scot63us Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi, If you haven't already done so, check out dp review, they do a decent job of reviewing lots of cameras and should help you narrow down to a few choices. Scot Link to comment
nanoty Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Canon A710IS, I also have the canon underwater housing for it for kayak fishing and it is sweet. Link to comment
Phixion Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Depends on what size you're looking for, but hands down I'd say the Canon Powershot S5 IS. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have the Canon SD800is and think it's pretty decent. Link to comment
davidr2340 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I use a Canon SD450... For now! (Upgrading to DSLR!) For a P&S, I think it's a great camera! Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 The canon sd line is the best Ive used for point and shootand Ive used nikon, kodak, etc etc...The canon sd line really shines in macro mode I have the sd1000 btw...You can get them for like $179 and they are awesome Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Canon SD750 Love it, i have been though 3 P&S cameras in the past year. Canon is my fav so far. Link to comment

jeremai Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Sony is a crap shoot - when they work they are awesome, though. I blame it on Carl Zeiss. Link to comment
