Panasonic LC43 - 4.3 megapixel .. 3x zoom I think... comes with Leica zoom lens (if you know anything about cameras.. Leica is really good)
Even comes with recharable batteries.

I work @ best buy

I'd only buy a Canon or Sony, but that's just me cuz I'm ignorant

To me, it's like someone saying "here, but a Kia Rio - it's got 4 wheels and an engine just like a Honda Civic"

Canon: S400, A70 or the new A80.

canon s400 or a80 gets my vote
and also the panasonic mentioned above, because of the leica lens.

Canon S400 if you want a real nice functional portable camera. It has amazing pictures and read/write speeds aren't that bad. Otherwise Sony and Nikons are good as well.

i was looking into the s400 cause of the size but what is an elph camera?
and for size/functionability
s400 or a80

i know panasonic is good too but i have a dv panasonic camera and want to go for something canon. THye are well known in the camera field, i know from experience with their other 35mm cameras

S400:

An "elph" camera is just another series of camera by Canon. It's name denotes "compact size".

I dont know if I'm gonna be liking that pop out lcd on the a80, is there anything that the s400 has that the a80 doesnt?

You should take a look at Canon Canada's web site. They have comparison charts there between their camera models.

Sony and Canon are the way to go when looking for a digital cam, IMO. They may seem expensive, but I think that the cost is justified.

Read this thread about the A80.

IMO I like the flip out LCD screen 1) protects it better 2) can take pics at different angles 3) and of yourself

I thought that screen can flip around, and then you could put it back...but with the screen facing outwards towards you?

Then when you go to put it away....pull it out, flip it, then put it back. Presto, the screen is protcted.


That's what I was told.
