I'm looking for a compact point and shoot camera

[InlineFour]

I found the Canon SD630

Are there other cameras that I should be looking at?

 

[OdiN]

Nope, it's a good camera.

The Sony T series look very nice on the outside, but I heard they take mediocre pictures.

i took forever to find a camera just like you want and i chose the sd630. i love it. i definately reccomend it, and alot of others here did as well.

If you're spending that much $$, you're dumb not to get something with IS.

The PowerShot IS isn't exactly compact. Although for about the same price, you do get much better quality.

edit: Oops, I thought you were talking about the Sx IS seres.

Well I got the Sony T9 and while it does take nice pictures and is quick, after only 2 months of owning it the LCD cracked internally without being dropped and Sony won't warranty it.

So I can't say I'd recommend that.

SD700 IS, if it's in your budget.

IIRC, Fujifilm makes great P&Ss, but I'm not sure which one to recommend.

Yep. The IS comes in handy for night or low light shots.

Another vote for the SD700IS. Best ultra compact for that price.

The IS stands for image stabilization, right?

Yes.

yeah but the screen on the 700is is smaller and its 499 instead of 399. i got the 630 for 379 i think. wasnt really worth it to go 120+ for the IS.

I just picked up a Sony W70. I was going to get the W100, but I couldn't find a waterproof housing for that one, which I wanted for a trip to Mexico next week. The W70 is a pretty nice camera for the price.

I'm still in love with my Fuji F-11....

can't go wrong with canon, but i've heard good things about the lumix line lately.
