Digital cameras: Please help me
Please help me
by bayoubabe - 7/2/09 8:27 PMI am looking to buy a new digital camera and I am so overwhelmed. I currently have a Sony DSC-W90. It taked decent pictures most of the time but it is VERY slow to process them.
I am looking for a camera I can put in my pocket and go. I want it to take very good (if not great) photos in all kinds of conditions and have a fast processing speed (I take a lot of action shots).
It would be nice if it had a zoom greater than 3x but I don't think that exists. Oh yea, I don't want to spend any more than $150.
Please help me.
No such thing. Especially under $150.

What?

Price isn't so much of an issue (to an extent), I can work that out. So, what is a small camera with good image quality?
Your going to have to have realistic expectations

That's the quality of a DSLR in an ultracompact. If you want the best ultracompact then look at the Canon SD 880,970, or 990. If you are willing to accept a slightly larger camera then look at the Fuji F200EXR or the Panasonic LX3.
What kalel33 said above.

As snapshot pointed out in the other thread, the F200 has a relatively large sensor for a shirt pocket size camera (although even this sensor is still tiny compared to the sensor in any DSLR), but the F200 sells for around twice your original budget of $150.
And that is how I arrived at the statement in my previous post in this thread, "No such thing. Especially under $150."
