My old point & shoot camera broke, so now I'm looking for a new one..
I'll use it primarily during my travels in the near future, so size does matter. I've narrowed my choices to 2 cameras, namely Canon SD750 and Canon S3 IS. The obvious choice is the SD750, since I can just put it in my pocket and off I go. However the S3 IS has 12X zoom, and that pretty awesome (I think?), and it runs on normal AA batteries, so if my rechargeable die, I can just pick some in any store. Size-wise, I'll need to buy a special case, or pants with bigger pockets. And the S3 IS is on sale now (100$ off) since S5 IS, the new model, comes out in couple of days.

Ugh.

1. Canon SD750

* 7.1 Megapixels
* 3x optical zoom 35-105mm (35mm equivalent) with UA lens
* DIGIC III with Face Detection AF/AE/FE and Noise Reduction
* Red-Eye Correction in playback
* 3.0” PureColor LCD (Digital IXUS 75)
* ISO 1600 and Auto ISO Shift
* 17 Shooting modes plus My Colors photo effects
* 30fps VGA Movies and Time Lapse Movie function




2. Canon S3 IS

* 12x optical zoom lens with USM and UD lens element
* Optical Image Stabilizer
* 6.0 Megapixel CCD
* 2.0” Vari-angle LCD
* 30fps VGA movies with stereo sound and Photo in Movie feature
* DIGIC II, iSAPS and Flexizone AF/AE for fast, precise results and 2.3 fps continuous shooting
* 20 shooting modes and My Colors photo effects
* High ISO Auto and ISO 800 for low light flexibility
* Widescreen (16:9) recording

And depending on if you live at CFB Kingston your cost of living is probably very low as well, but even if you weren't cost of living in Kingston isn't that bad. Its only $30 which is cheaper than most nights at Stereo. Most of us on here who post about Stereo have put out probably hundreds and hundreds of dollars clubbing there just this year alone, and have never really complained for the most part. I know I sure as hell have.

anyone stores sell cameraphones with at least 2.0MP but for under $200?

Nah, I don't want a dSLR for now, its way too expensive and bulky. I need something relatively small.

Does anyone have an extra floor ticket for daft punk?



oh, and off-topic:

If you're going for a point and shoot, the whole point seems to be that it fits in your pocket, so definitely go for the SD750.

I have a DSLR but i end up using my gf's sony more often for said reason... With a tiny vs clunky camera, you end up deciding; am I going out somewhere where I might wanna take pictures, or am I going out to take pictures?

Canon Rebel XTi!!!

Just picked up the A710 IS, sort of a compromise between the other two.

7MP, 6x Optical Zoom, 2AA batteries, Optical IS, manual controls, etc. Not too bulky, fits in a pocket, good grip. Oh and has the ability to take RAW pics with an unofficial firmware update.
