Need a camera to take pics of grandchild

by RachelDevin - 2/5/09 10:31 AM

I need a camera I can fit in my purse (or smaller) so I can take pictures of my grandson. The one I have now takes forever to recycle. By the time the flash comes on, the moment is lost. I don't want to go to the next level and have a heavy camera to lug around. What do you suggest? HELP!

Thanks from a grandmother who wants to save the moments.

I've seen the Canon SD100 for ~$99 + free shipping

It's a very reliable little camera that would fit the bill IMHO and E.

Fuji just announced a new line of cameras that are supposed to do really well in low light/indoors. If you can't wait then the Canon SD cameras are very good.

Quicker camera to photograph grandchild

by fishandgrapes - 2/18/09 7:25 AM In reply to: Need a camera to take pics of grandchild by RachelDevin

I had the same difficulty - great pictures missed by slow camera reaction. And it wasn't just down to the familiar flash recharge time, it would happen in daylight when flash was not involved: press button, long pause, click... too late. Eventually after wasting my employer's money, I discovered that the key phrase for this one is Shutter Lag. Only buy a camera that publishes this - and it needs to be quicker than 0.2 seconds. And at the same time of course check the flash recycle time. Save the moments - enjoy!

I had the same issues. it drove me crazy. I bought a Canon SD1100 for me for Christmas and love it. snap snap snap, one picture after another! Amazon and Costco both had great prices.
