My sister and bro in law want a small compact good digital cam for Xmass. These are the 2 i came up with. Which one would you choose? I guess the S230 is in the running also cause its cheaper

I know there is a canon bias here but if anyone has any experience with the Optio S4 please LMK what you think


And YES I have read reviews at imaging resource and Dp review. They both say they are both good cams. Thought id get some user experience. And possibly some example photos.

The S400 can be found for 392 at newegg and the Optio s$ for $320 from buydig

hm....canon sd100 is smaller than s400, but little bigger than optio s
I ordered mine from OM for $271 after taxes with 128mb sd card and 1 extra battery. check your local OM, the online deal is dead, you may able to get one for $300

Basically the same camera, just different media (Compact flash vs. Secure digital)
