This is a question for all the camera gurus out there.
I’ll be in the US for an official trip next week. And since electronics are much, much cheaper there I am thinking of getting a new camera for myself while I am there. I’m not restricting myself to any brands, models, etc. but I have always had Canon cameras and have been quite happy with them.
What I am really looking for is:
Camera should be compact and light
It should have good optical zoom (I never use digital zoom, because that just distorts the pictures)
Decent video quality would be nice, but is not a must-have
I’m NOT a “Megapixel”-freak. That’s mostly a marketing gimmick anyway. I just want a camera that gives me good results. Megapixels don’t really matter that much.
Ideally the camera should not cost more than US$ 500.–
Please send me your suggestions and also let me know about good places to buy cameras from in San Francisco (because that’s where I’ll be next week).
go for sony cybershot. u ll find some compact models of it. or go for panasonic. rest of the brands have better lenses but their image processing sucks. for digital giv top priority to image processing unless u r buying some really sophisticated cam.
