Pocket-size: Canon SD800IS is the way to go.

SLR: Canon Rebel XTi (Compact Flash though)

Best bangs for the buck in their categories.

you'd want to read some canon, panasonic, nikon, olympus reviews at dpreview.com

i'd suggest canon S3IS (S5IS is out but its not a leap change) or Panasonic DMC-L1 etc.

Olympus has 28mm camera with 18x optical zoom, it all depends on your budget, being a friend my job was to confuse.

you need to define budget and also size preferences ( large slr type, or fit in the pocket type deal )

casio exilim for me

nice size LCD too so I can see what I'm shooting

S3IS is nice, but it takes AA batteries which, to me, are a pain in the a$$. Lithium Ion all the way!

I have both cameras obviously for different things and think they are both great. The reason I love the SD800IS is because it has a wider angle lens 28 vs 35 so when you take pics of yourself at a club let's say you get more of the objects in it. It definitely makes a huge difference. The image stabilization helps too..both of these features are hard to find on other cameras.

I recently got the Canon SD900 Ti (Ti stands for Titanium). The camera is amazing looking and takes amazing pictures. It can do movies in 640x480@30FPS and even 1024x768@15FPS. It uses the new SDHC SD memory which can be up to 6 times faster than the old SD memory if you get a class 6 SDHC card which is what I have. I will say though if I could go back, I would probably have bought the Candon SD800IS (IS stands for Image Stabalization), instead after reading up on reviews. Pick some models you are interested in and compare specs.

New Digicam

Hello,
my old Canon Ixus 700 broked-down, so I search for a new compact digicam now. My Canon Ixus made fantastic photos by sunlight, the only problem was photos at night (in the clubs) for example and the sound of the video mode (oversteering when hard basses were coming).
In the German "Stiftung Warentest" the Panasonic DMC-LX2 won against the Canon Digital Ixus 850 IS...
In addition to that are there any other alternatives for me (Sony, Samsung, Nikon)? Could you test the Panasonic DMC-LX2?

If you have the money, I would buy none other than a Nikon.

Nice recommendation. Those clear and concise details will surely help them out.

ok then a nikon d80 or d200 with a 77/333 nikor lense. you shouldn't ask about cameras if you don't know anything about what you want to begin with.

Posted by DJBIGBOSS on Jun-26-2007 20:26:

The Nikon D200 and the D80 are fantastic, but I search for 'compact digicams', which are small enough for my trouser pocket.
Mayby you can help me there?

Posted by miamitranceman on Jun-26-2007 20:47:

The D200 is ancient.
