  • Digital P&S Cams?

    Looking to get a digital point and shoot camera for taking pics of fish and pretty much everything (outdoor/indoor). Any recommendations or tips for picking out a good/decent camera? Was looking around and the Panasonic TS4 is hard to pass up. HD video is a must!

    The real question is how much you want to spend?

      400-500 is the limit

        Not to hate....bc I love me a good P&S. I love them so much I have 3!

        But if you want to drop 400-500....used DSLR and a kit lens would punk a P&S. Assuming you don't mind having a camera that can't fit in your pocket.

            There's the new A series canon P&S....pretty beast quality. I wouldn't spend more than 200 for one though

              +1!

              No point in spending anymore on a P&S.

              Plus, in a years time it will basically be worthless and you couldn't give it away.

                Came up with a list of possible candidates. Which would be the best for the price?

                  I hate canon...so i vote to go with the Sony.

                  J/k, but the Sony do look the best.

                    I like how the Sony looks too. Does all that technical stuff really make a difference between the 4?

                        The ELPHs are 1080p vid and the other two are 720p. Doesn't that make a big diff?

                          Can't go wrong with a Sony P&S... up until I started with DSLR I used Sony point and shoot cameras.

                          I have a Nikon D40 I can sell ya but it doesn't do video...

                            I would recommend an Olympus E-PL1. You can get them new with the 14-42 lens for around $250 on Amazon. The image quality will rival those of DSLRs and they are highly portable. The image quality will beat ANY and I mean ANY point and shoot available (even the GX1). I bought one when it just came out and have been very impressed with it. I actully like it so much, I bought 2 of them because I use it for diving in its optional diving case. If you want sample images or to compare it with myother cameras, let me know and I can post some comparisons.

                            I wold avoid the newer E-PL2 and E-PL3 beauces they used the exact same sensor, in just smaller newer bodies, but much more expensive without improved image quality.

                              I got my wife the Canon Powershot S100. The pictures come out really nice and when I was researching - it was one of the top rated P&S cameras.
