OT: digital camera recommendations, anyone?

[Coronita]

I know this is off topic. And yes, I read plenty of reviews all over the net..But….

 

Has anyone recently bought a point and shoot digital camera lately that they could recommend?

I've been lugging around a Canon DSLR camera around a bit…and my latest trip to Spain proved that carrying around a big thing isn't the most fun thing to do all the time.

I recently won a gift certificate from Amazon.com, so I'm thinking of getting a small, point and shoot simple digital camera, sacrificing some image quality for convenience. My limit is $350 or below.

The purpose of it would be an almost everyday camera, that I'd carry around, to snap whatever, including any homes on the markets that are of interest that I run into..(There, that was my real estate content to justify posting here 🙂 )

I’m one of those overly analytical consumers who research every model, style and feature before I buy. This is my new baby, the Sony DSC-H9 You can get it onsale for just about $370 and it’s worth the upper limit for it’s 15x optical zoom, lots of auto settings for sports, portraits etc Plus if you want to do the hobby thing, settings can go completely manual.

Pop a memory card in the bottom and you can also take MPEGS if you like to capture mini-movies.

Bang for the buck was my goal and this is the one that won.

Anything from Nikon or Canon will exceed your expectations. I have an ancient Nikon Coolpix 4300 that is still great.

I also am looking for a point and shoot to go along w/ my Canon DSLR and I’m leaning toward the Canon SD950IS. The IS stands for image stabilization and many people and review said it works really well. I’ve read many reviews and the recurring theme is the canon tends to have the best optics with the least noise. The 12MP also one of the highest you can get in a point and shoot right now. The form factor is very compact. You can always get the 12X optical zoom if you get the Canon S5 IS as well but you’ll be sacrificing size and since you already have a DSLR, I assume you want something compact.
