My camera I got before I left for South America for 5 months is the Canon Powershot SD750 ELPH.

It’s an older model, but still available on amazon for under 200 and very reliable. The huge screen and fast shutter take beautiful crisp photos. Also makes it SO much easier to see if it’s blurry (I HATE the pic-looks-good-on-1.1-inch-screen-but-horrible-on-the-computer.) Also is very small so it can fit in any good size pocket or cargo pocket. I did notice that if the indoor lighting is poor, I find the flash tends to have spot issues (that could just be me.)

Also, PLEASE get a GOOD case for it! Since the screen is bigger=more risk.

Unfortunately, a mob of kids+tickle fight(I was losing >>)+camera(in its case btw) in my cargo pocket=slight damage on screen. Thankfully, because of the awesome case, it didn’t crack, but there is a couple of small black spots.

Despite the spots, it’ still an amazing camera, and a really great deal.

Hey Mate, Like your stuff, defiantly going to get one of these :)

Defiantly get a Canon BTW.

WHY you ask?

WEll i will tell you…

Look at who makes professional cameras, and which cameras do the professionals use. So, i happen to be very equated with one of these people, and what do you know, they all use canon.

So going for the small Point and Shot (if only it was that easy) you win, as they have similar processing technology.

There you go..

Unless you left things from the video out of the text, the title of this post really makes no sense. Well, I suppose it does make a little sense, but it implies a poll or something about the use of wrist straps for their intended purpose: Saving a camera from falling to the ground. Let’s just say I didn’t get what I was expecting from the title…

That is definately a neat little gadget that could be of a lot of use for on the go… One less cable you have to throw in a bag…

Canon make some of the best point-n-shoots on the market today. The SD 1100 IS is packed full of features and will most likely be the next point-n-shoot to replace my older Canon S-500 Digital ELPH.

My current camera is a Samsung S860, primarily because it accepts SD cards (as opposed to my old camera, a Fujufilm A400 I believe, which only took the (proprietary) xD Picture Card format).

It’s good enough – the zoom is sometimes a bit dodgy, as is the autofocus, but as soon as you’ve worked out how it likes you to do things, it’s a very good camera.

Check out the Canon PowerShot series of cameras.

I had an A85, but it was stolen from my car. I replaced it with an A590.

I was a professional photographer, 35 years ago, and I think my standards for photographs are higher than most folks’ standards.

On the other hand, peoples’ needs vary. I don’t take many flash photos (other than “fill in” flash), so I can’t swear that the built-in flash will be adequate if you’re shooting groups of 25-30 people.

I *do* take pictures of many small things, so the macro capability is an important capability.

Costco seems to consistantly have the best prices, and Costco Online has a wider selection of cameras than the brick-and-mortar stores do, once you’ve shopped around and identified what fits your fancy.
