Here's a question for you digital gurus........I looking at buying a digital camera (Not SLR) that has zoom capabilities and have narrowed it down to two manufactors, Sony or Canon. I'm trying to get the best bang for the buck so here's the list....
Canon S21S 5 megapixel 12X optical zoom (Stabilized)......$280.00 base
Canon S31S 6 megapixel 12X optical zoom (Stabilized)......$340.00 base
Sony DSCH1 5 megapixel 12X optical zoom (Stabilized).......$325.00 base
Sony DSCH2 6 megapixel 12X optical zoom (Stabilized).......$327.00 base
Sony DSCH5 7 megapixel 12X optical zoom (Stabilized).......$410.00 base
I realize that there is memory and extra batteries to buy but the cost should be about the same for all the cameras. Is anyone familar withany of these cameras and how do image quality compare between the two companies.
All of the cameras have video capabilites that are rated fairly good especially the Canon. From reviews all of these cameras are rated very high but I was wondering if any of the people on here have any first hand experience with any of these cameras. Also do you guys have any other recomendations? Greg I know you take thousands of pictures what do you think? Most of the photos I would be taking would be still/non-moving pictures but I would like the ability to take some moving photos as well.
