Recommend me a camera

[Tim]

1. Don't poke fun at me on this.
2. It must be pink.
3. Must not cost over $200.
4. Links would be appreciated.

Thank you

Update: Thank you for the suggestions. However I've stumbled across a forgotten $50 newegg giftcard so I've narrowed it down between these two

Tell me what you guys think would be the best of the 2 and why.

Poke, Poke, :evil:

OMG, they even have this website.

Any requirements beside pink?

 

[akugami]

Canon PowerShot A1100 IS Pink $200

Nikon CoolPix L18 Ruby Red 8.0 MP $100

Nikon CoolPix S220 Magenta 10.0 MP $150

Quick simple Newegg search yields these results. You might or might not be able to find it for cheaper elsewhere via Google searches and at places like Pricewatch. I almost always use Newegg to look at a product before seeing if it's cheaper elsewhere, especially since tax is charged in certain places like New Jersey and California for Newegg. Not that I live in either states, just that everyone's situation differs.

***EDIT

Good site twistedlogic. I think pink is a garish color for a camera but to each his own...

nikon's digicams tend not to review well.

Fixed that for ya, don't thank me, it's what I do!

Maybe Nikon should get some of their DSLR people over to the digicam dept.

Best GF camera for the money, IMO.

I know because I bought one for my GF. It received top honors in DPReview's budget compact roundup. Remember, girlfriends like "compact" cameras.

it's pink and it's cheap

Fixed for all of ya. Seriously, for someone whose requirement is pink, I might suggest something from Toys'R'Us.

For some reason, I don't think my g/f would like a Toys'R'Us camera, but thank you for your input. :roll:


Moving along now, I've got a $50 gift card for newegg that I didn't remember I had, so I'm thinking it's between these 2 cameras.

Tell me what you guys think would be the best of the 2 and why.

The SD1200 has a much nicer, crisper LCD.

Probably...

I dunno, not trying to be partial to pentax at all...but 84 flat for a pink cam seems much cheaper than any 50 dollar IR applied to those cams

 

[jpeyton]

Your girlfriend won't like the A1100. Get the SD1200.

Then I have a hunch your GF wont be pixel-peeping to see if one has lower noise at high ISO or a meter less prone to blowing highlights. :roll:

You might as well get her one that she thinks looks cuter.

 

[randomlinh]

SD1200 hands down. slimmer, more pocketable, and just better built.

 

[shiner]

Run down to your local Wal-Mart and see if they still have the SD1100IS in stock. The one near me is closing them out and you can pick one up in silver for $129 and the color versions are $119

Why do you feel the need to come in here and threadcrap? She wants a pink camera, what's your big deal with that? Yes, we're not completely concerned with all of your photo-techno mumbo-jumbo, but that doesn't mean I just want to get her a complete P.O.S. camera. If you're not going to add anything constructive (which you haven't done), why don't you stay out of the thread?

 

[shortylickens]

If you need a pink camera, go to the mall.

Seriously. Malls are chick hangouts. Chicks like pink stuff. Stores like sales.
They have pink cameras, I promise.
