Digicam Recommendation

[HardcoreRobot]

Ive been out of the digital camera scene for a little while now... I am looking for a nice simple small point and shoot cam I can stick in my pocket on my upcoming excursions. I am partial to the canon brand, but am open to new things. Whats hot right now?

Canon SD series. As of last week you could've gotten a SD200 (3.3 MP, smaller than a credit card) for $200 AR at best buy

Canon is the best in my opinion, but that's because I have a 20D, G3, and G5.

Just look for sales. The A75 is good, my gf has that.

You just missed a kick ass deal on the Konica Minolta x50 for $259 at CostCo B&M

It is TINY and very pocketable.

I had remembered the last day and it was too late

hehe, any deals that ARENT expired? are all the canon SD's the same size? what is the size difference btw them and the A-series. im looking up the stats right now, so i guess what i really want are peoples impressions of them if they have actually carried them. right now i have a G3, which is great and i continue to use it, but i want something a bit more portable as well.

i just purchased a SD200. My other camera is an A60. Hold up your credit card... i'm not lying when I say it's smaller. Not thinner of course, but smaller. Run down to bestbuy or wherever and play around with it for a couple of minutes. The size is unbelievable, and it takes great pictures. On pricegrabber you can still get the SD200 for around $220 shipped from reputable websites.

If it was any smaller, it'd slip through my fingers.

i see dell has had some killer deals on the SD series... but it seems their shipping takes a while (probably having a hard time keeping them in stock)... i kinda need it in 10 days

which SD were you looking for? After tax + waiting long time for shipping, bestbuy was still cheaper for me. The higher models (300, 400, 500) are probably cheaper at Dell, but not by much I dont think. Check pricegrabber, there are some good deals there if u dont want to wait forever

well i went ahead and bought the sd400 from zzf

ill let you all know what i think in a couple days

hey Rossman, here's one for your website:

I'm thinking that if you're in the market for one, and don't have a friend with a costco card, you'll still come out ahead even including the cost of membership for the purchase. :thumbsup:
