Can you give me some recommendations about which compact digital camera to chose regarding photo and video quality?

Thank you.

@sash8001 Please visit the PhotographyREVIEW forums and I'll be happy to help. That's a better venue for discussing cameras in detail.

What does the body of the camera feel like? Plastic or more like the body of an DSLR?

[PhotographyREVIEW]

Hmmm - it's not the most plasticky feeling P&S I'ev ever used. But I wouldn't say it feels like a DSLR, either. If you want a solid-feeling compact, go with the Olympus or Panasonic waterproof cameras. But they don't have image quality anything like the S90.

@PhotographyREVIEW Yes, I choose 720p when watching HD videos. But the video I see from the S90 looks as good. How can 480p look as good as HD 720p? That's the confusing part for me. Or maybe there is a difference and my eyes are not seeing it? Sorry for what may seem like silly questions. I always had 35mm film cameras. Is the video on the sony TX7 1080p 60fps better than than the video on the canon 480p? I'm trying to decide on these two cameras which would be the best.

[PhotographyREVIEW]

@skjoyner The advantage of HD is highrer resolution. There are a lot of variables with video quality, though - especially what you see here on YouTube. The biggest is the video editing/exporting. If it's not done right the final quality you see here will be pretty bad. Also, are watching them here in HD? To see the actual quality you need to click on the HD link for wahhtever video you're watching.

@PhotographyREVIEW Can someone tell me why HD video would be better than this cameras video if the video I see from this camera looks better than the HD videos I've seen from other pocket cams on youtube? What's the advantage of HD? Will HD look better on TV when burned to DVD? Sorry, I don't know much about cameras & I'm trying to decide between the Canon S90 & Sony TX7. I appreciate anyone's help.

hey guys i have owned my S90 for about four months now and I am having silly problems with videos -- tons of background noise from the microphone. i didn't buy this camera for vids but heck it doesn't even take quality audio. My massive A640 takes better vids in AVI format - the audio is much better. any ideas on what's causing the audio to be so bad or is this a design problem that you're also experiencing?

[davomrmac]

Nice, thanks for the info on the S90. Nice to get a heads up before I review it.
