Looking for a Digital Camera.

[the_state]

my camera just got stolen and i'm looking to pick up a new one. the canon sd800is

for the Canon SD8xxIS owners... do you have any problems with the on-off switch, plastic case, and overall camera size? aside from a lack of several minor adjustable manual settings (aperture, shutter speed), the only real negative feedback i've read has been about that.

Im interested in getting a compact camera, a Ricoh GX100, Canon G9 or a Leica d lux 3 or v lux 1. Anyone could help me narrow down my choices?

I'm also trying to decide between the G9, the LX2, and the GX100.

If the GX100 had better performance in crappy light, it would be an easy choice.

Canon powershot A640 is great but a lil big. Not SLR big but you know.

Fuji F30.

Takes the best nighttime shots bar-none out of all the point and shoots.

[the_state]

does anyone have experience with the panasonic lumix tz3k (leica lense)? from the reviews im reading on amazon, it sounds really nice.

leica d-lux 3, some of the best money i ever spend.

make this thread into a poll and we will fight it out like bunch nerds

If I had to choose a point and shoot digital (short of a Leica M8), Id get the canon G9. The sigma DP1 is worth looking at too.

Fuji Finepix S9600 is quite nifty, it's got both manual and auto functions so you get the best of both worlds. 9 megapixel, 10.7 optical zoom.

Seems like the canon G9 is the chosen one. Does it come with the viewfinder too?

its built in but the lens is in the viewfinder and its pretty distracting, also there is no type of display int he viewfinder so its kinda useless unless you're on full auto.

i used a friends g9 and was not impressed at all to be honest i think anyone would be much better off with one of the elph's with IS. unless you absoultely have to shoot raw.

[lacquered]

Just some jpegs, no need for raw, as i usually shoot raw with my dslr.

Think I'm gonna go with the Canon Powershot SD850 IS.. Found it at buydig.com for $306. Retails for $390

how are you liking the 850?

i vote for any of the panasonic dmc-fx series for casual use - they fit easily in your pocket, startup quickly and have a leica lens... all for 200-300 depending. in fact they manufacture the leica digital camera which is also available as a dmc-lx (next model up) if you don't want to shell out the extra $$$ for the branding.

word. just bought the fx35. should be here next week.

TURN UP THE NOISE.
