If you buy the Canon get it from Dell for $319 shipped IIRC.
Because it's Canon. They make consistently good cameras across the board, usually not the best in their class but never the worst. It's the safe bet, no homework required, just pick a price and size then buy.Originally posted by: thescreensavers
the Fiji f30 What I see is better then the SD700is.
also
I want to know why ppl are choosing the canon over the Fuji in the poll.
So I can see why and learn.
And it's quite apparent that people on this forum want to do the minimum amount of reading possible. The OP is better off reading industry reviews and making up his own mind, but it seems he wants to do the minimum amount of reading as well.Originally posted by: kami333

Other manufacturers have better cameras and a lot of worse ones, they aren't as consistent so you have to do a lot of reading before you buy.
wow I have been reading non stop for 2 days now, I am looking for your opinions.Originally posted by: jpeyton

Pretty much sums up pretty much all the response you're going to get on ATOT "Canon Fanboys" forums.Originally posted by: kami333

Other manufacturers have some cameras that will outperform a similar Canon and a lot of worse ones, they aren't as consistent so you have to do a lot of reading before you buy.
Here's a comparison of the new Canon SD series and the F30. link
You talk as if IS is a cure-all at low ISOs. Unfortunately in most industry reviews, they test IS performance in regular indoor lighting situations. And IS doesn't help for fast-moving subjects. There are a lot of situations where having good ISO 800/1600 performance is better than having IS. Which is why the OP should evaluate what they need the camera for.Originally posted by: d3n
Well the IS is a big deal for a point and shoot. A high quality print doesn't matter much if you miss 3 or 4 others that would have been just as good but turned out blurry. With IS this is a non issue.
I would agree that the F30 is absolutely amazing on image sharpness, but there are other things to consider, such as the wide end is not as wide as the Canon, there is a lack of an optical viewfinder (one of my pet peeves), and there is no IS.Originally posted by: virtualgames0

If you spent any time researching, you'll easily learn that Fuji F30 wins easily in image quality.
I am not a photo expert so the distinction is appreciated. I can appreciate a good point and shoot though since I really don't have the background to pick and choose my settings for a photo. Guess thats what we are all looking for.Originally posted by: jpeyton
