digital point&shoot cameras

I have searched the forums and couldn't find anything related to buying digital cameras so I am asking anyone for advice

I like the sony's because of the video capability and want one that will do HD.

These are the two cameras I am consdiering:

the DSC-T700

& the DSCW300

Now,, I was wonderin gif anyone has the T-700 and know about the video mode.

I recently sold my olympus 7mp for $100 bucks, it was a underwater camera and only used it once underwater (the video was crap)

anywho... any input is appreciated !

The DSCW300 is damn nice man, I would recommend it. If you're willing to spend that money on it, you will not regret it. I hope that you realise that 13.6 MP maybe unecessary and that you can probably get something similar but save some good coin.

ya u can get the 10mp version for 30$ cheaper

its the HD video that interests me the most..

and i know Cannon's have best image quality.. and would guess sony as the best video quality.. I wonder what Chinamon and Shaya have to say!

You're making a mistake!
CANON>SONY

I've used a Sony for videos in the past and Canon's videos show up much nicer. The Sony ones always turned out really dark which is a big negative point if you're taking a lot of videos at clubs. Here's an example

Canon 5D Mk2

that is all

*droooooooooooooooooooooooooolzzzzzzzzz*

but wait, there's more!

Any Canon model with Image stabilization.

Lots of manual functions, best lens on the market, you will get the clearest images with any of the high end models.

why would you need anything more then 5 megapixels for just daily/clubbing pics? Unless you're planning to print you pics poster size..

lol no way.

i have an XSi. although if i'd have to choose a p&s it'd prob be a g10. or a the w300 since you have manual control over settings.

Posted by VERTiG0 on Nov-26-2008 23:29:

I'd go with this one. Nice and pocketable, and shoots at great resolutions.

hrmmm...that does look shitty.. but maybe their newer models have corrected that.. there must be some setting to correct shadows...

i know sony's have terrible white balance.. thats about it

no, i don't bring my dslr to clubs yet. all the photos i take at clubs come from the sony dsc-600.

i might bring it in one night to see what i can do with my kit lens (18-55 IS). it sucks that i really don't have money for anything else. although i might buy a 50mm prime in the next little while.

50mm is a great lens but not for club use. the 18-55 IS is a decent lens and is quite a bit better than the older non-IS version. you dont always have to buy canon lenses to have a good lens. sigma, tamron and tokina make some great lenses.
