best canon point and shoot digital camera 2011 image
Natalie.
i'm looking to buy my first digital camera ; i will only really be using it for snapshots however i would like these pictures to be of decent quality. My budget is around £200 / $300 , although i am able to stretch over this a little. As well as a camera that takes photos of a decent quality i'd like one that isn't heavy to carry around and is relatively easy to use.
Answer
The main problem with new point n shoots is theyâve abandoned all manual user settings. The auto functions can be fooled shooting different subjects in different lighting even for those snapshots. I see a lot of complaints here and many issues can be traced to someone expecting more than a point n shoot can deliver. The cameras Ive recommended all have the option of some level of manual control to help in difficult conditions.
Fujifilm S2000HD £160. Very easy full auto mode plus the options of full manual exposure and focus. Not a pocket size point n shoot but exceptional features in a compact size.

Canon Powershot SX120IS is smaller and has many but not all features of the S2000HD sells for £169.

The Samsung WB550 is also smaller than the S2000HD with fewer features and sells around £219

Sony will repair faulty cameras free of charge.

can anyone give me info on buying a new digital camera??
G泥L�
there are some factors I'm keeping in mind:
1. I have a very fast-paced lifestyle, I'm always out and about so I need something that can withstand a lot!!
2. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just as long as it takes good quality pictures i'm happy! ; )
I'm in desperate need of a digi so can someone plese refer me to certain brands, types, etc..... thanx!
Answer
Stay away from Kodaks. Their quality has been dropping dramatically inthe past few years.
Look to Nikon, their S series. My Nikon S3 is great for on the go photos. The newest version similar to my camera is the S9. It's easy to use (easier than the Kodaks, Canons or Sonys) and has a help feature built into the camera. It has the best red-eye reduction in the industry (even if you don't select the Red-Eye Reduction Flash)
And for durability:
A) Get a padded camera case. NONE of the small point & shoot digital cameras are going to survive too much banging around if they're naked.
B) Buy your camera from a Ritz or Wolf Camera and get their Performance Guarantee. Even if you shattered your camera once every six months and needed a complete replacement, Ritz/Wolf's Performance Guarantee will cover EVERYTHING except fire or disappeaance (yes,that means water damage, too). Worst case scenario with their guarantee is that they'll give you the origianl purchase price of the camera back as store creditifthey can't fix or replace your camera, within five years. My Nikon S3 was $299 when I bought it about 12 months ago. It was listed at $199.99 on clearance. In 2011, my S3 will STILL be worth $299.
