Olympus C120 vs Canon A200 - which one is better?

[Booster]

It's really difficult to decide between the two. I think I need maybe just a new toy, so my requirements are quite low. These both are fixed focus, very basic models under $200. Wish someone who knows a lot about digicams commented which one is better in terms of picture quality (acceptance, of course) and more practical. They use different storage medium so maybe this can influence the decision.
Also, the price matters a little... The C120 would cost me $176 and the A200 - $192.

RossMan sold his A40 and bought something else that he's touting now.

The A40 would be $281... Slightly out of my price range.

I read the reviews but all they say blah blah blah very good cheap, nice pics etc... But which one is better? They don't answer this simple question.

Two days ago he was praising the A40. Its kind of sad we are talking about it but oh well, I'm bored...

Go with whichever has the better review, research people!!!

Here's a review for the Canon A200.

If it were me, I wouldn't buy either ... I'd get the Fuji Finepix 2650 for $170 instead.

a70 owns all of 'em for a midrange digicam...get that one...shell out the extra $100...it's well worth it... a cam w/o zoom and features is blah...

 

[RossMAN]

For the record, RossMAN speaks in the 3rd person and pimps the Canon PowerShot A40, A60, A70 and Fuji Finepix 2600/2650.

Are we clear?

Wow thank you RossMAN! It surely is better in the same price range.

I know that... But I'm sure I'd make what like a few shots and it'll cover with dust. I'm not very fond of photography - just for the heck of it.

The Olympus uses smart media... (CF > SM)

If you can find it in stock then it's a no brainer buy the A40.

All the OD's I have called in OR and NE don't have the A40 in stock.
