it's nice to see someone else who does some research before buying something. i find cnet is really great for that, although of course it's still just their opinion, and people should buy what they like. congrats on the camera. keep it in a case or something though, cause i dropped a canon (much lower model though) and it no longer can focus.

[absolon3]

CNet has always been a good starting point for me in researching tech toys. With my first camera I made the mistake of going with what felt right, the Sony T50. I thought that for $300 I was making out well with the touchscreen interface and unique lens system, but I only ended up returning it after feeling financially guilty. With the Canon I at least feel like every penny was well spent.

The best quality slim camera that ive found so far, *limited under 300 bucks* is the SANYO VPC-T700. its a 7.0 Mega Pixel and by far its the best choice for me personally.

Very lengthy yet very interesting. I would be very interested to see a video you take with that camera, since that is one of the top things I look for in a digital camera.

I have a casio S600 and the video quality is very good, but I also liked that the S600 is extremely slim, and I got it new on ebay for $75 with an extra battery. I was also EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY impressed with Casio customer service.

But I agree with your friend, Canon is the best if picture quality is your main concern.

[absolon3]

There was a Casio that I looked at for a bit, but for the price I simply couldn't ignore the reviews I saw for the S600. Size was a definite factor for me, but I didn't want to just settle for just any brand.

actually the benefit of a viewfinder is much different then you explained what you said about the light from the lcd is true but the real reason people like viewfinders is battery life if you use the viewfinder instead of the lcd you can take probably double or triple more pictures then you can with the battery sucking lcd,with a viewfinder you might be able to take like 600+ pictures but with a lcd viewfinder it's like 300 or less, so if you're a pic fanatic viewfinder is important, nice video!

Fujifilm FTW ;)

why would u upload this 2 times

[absolon3]

I made such a HUGE mistake in the first video. I actually included the name of the camera in the title on the video footage and asked viewers to guess which camera I purchased. May not be a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but I had to edit the video to not feel too much like an idiot.

[juan66669lover]

oh ok its understandable

[flyingeagle2581]

I jut got that camera. I like it alot, except it sometimes has hard to use user interface

[absolon3]

It can be challenging to navigate the user menus, but I think that the Sony Cybershot touchscreen models are much harder to work with.

[flyingeagle2581]

how do u get the face detector thing? (the 90 degree angles making a square without sides)

[flyingeagle2581]

never mind. u do nothing except put the camera on a persons face. lol

yey... 1st viewer!!!
