Cannon Elf is from what I gather is one of the most solid of all compact "point and shoot" digital camera's. Powershot 450 does everything I need it to and more

I dunno if thats the kinda camera your looking for but its small with a large screen and packs a punch with high res shots.

looking to spend around $500, would be using alot for taking pics of the family, landscape, etc.

this is what i'm looking at:




6. megapixel, 2" vari-angle lcd display, 12x zoom auto focus, photo from video capability. anyone have one of these? all the reviews i have read about it are pretty good.

thanks for the advice everyone

go for a Canon PowerShot G7. 6 megapixel is dead.

I love my Canon SD700IS...it's great for portability and powerful enough for what I need it for. Looks like you want something a tad more powerful than the SD series...

Re: Buying a digital camera . . .

for a 100 bucks more you gain 4 megapixels. Also it is using the Digic III chip. Those are my true selling points for G7. Both are great cameras, and without the most recent release of the G7 I would picked the Powershot as well. The truth to the matter is 10+ megapixel is going to last you for a long time, and allows you to print beautiful large prints if need be without any loss of image quality.

main points for 100 bucks.
- 10+ megapixel
- Newest Canon Technology

to me those two factors make it worth the extra pay.

that G7 looks like it would be a good buy...if I had the money for one.

avoid at all cost the Sony, I simply hate mine.
Canon is the way to go I believe

Re: Buying a digital camera . . .

i guess sony knows many different products, but just not cameras. I didn't care for their VCR's either.
