Whats a decent compact digital camera?
- Thread starter V1NNY

I have one of these to complement my other cameras. Fits nicely in a shirt pocket.

Never going to set the world on fire, but turns on instantly and has practically no shutter lag and a very fast AF system so is ideal for those point and shoot moments!

^^^ yep, i got the digital IXUS v when it first came out, its about the size of a cigarette packet, they've got better since then but even at a miserable 2.1m pixels it takes decent pics. I was that impressed with it I stuck with Canon when I went for a DSLR.fUbAr said:its all about the Canon IXUS range.
tbh any of them in the IXUS range are superb... I have the 750 and its spot on
good shout, you are already looking at the best so stick with the T series, amazing cameras, feature rich, double steady shot, great size and amazingly big screen for the size of camera.V1NNY said:I was looking at the sony DSC-T30, currently have a Casio EX-Z57 and looking to get a better one, bot looking for a SLR though
What do people think?
You won't be disappointed with that camera!
SLK 350
surely all cameras do that but only when using the digital zoom, they wouldn't on the optical zoom.fUbAr said:
The pictures from the T series are amazing, the range has won awards before and will again, when it comes to compact cameras, Sony have it sewn up, best all round package.
LOL, guess we are going to have to agree to disagree then because just off the top of my head the Sony W70 matches the spec, is better looking, slimmer, neater package and is cheaper.ozzyo99 said:
I would still go for the T30 over that as it has a 3" screen rather than the 2.5" on the W70 but still, the Canon is not the best that £200 can buy IMO. Oh and I have nothing against Canon, I have a 350D.
SLK 350
Neither are bad camera's in fact far from it, they're both fantastic. And if they were both the same price, the S80 would be a good improvement over the S70. Buts its little in the way of bang for buck right now over the S70.
Just don't know why they didn't include .RAW in the S80. RAW photo's really do look great next to .jpegs imo.

i'm guessing you have the S70 and therefore think its the best thing since sliced bread, specs aren't everything, picture quality is the most important factor, and .RAW is so not needed on a compact camera, not the right market for it, thats probably why they removed it form the S80, its just not needed in the spec.ozzyo99 said:

Wrong i own a Pentax WP, and a D50.

Yes, MP isn't everything. Optics is indeed key in a camera, and Canon are arguably market leaders.
dave182 said:
For most that maybe true. It is however still a backward step, .RAW photo's are stunningly better than using lossy compression like .jpeg.
no, you're right, Carl Zeiss is a rubbish brand, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole......ozzyo99 said:
Oh and I'd rather have 200 pic chances to get a decent shot that to only be able to take 20 shots in .RAW as the file sizes are HUGE and take ages to write on a slow card. I shoot my 350D in JPG and have had a load blown up to 30"x20" and the poster is perfect so why would i want to use .RAW when there is nothing wrong with compression, not for an amateur like me anyway, what advantage will .RAW really give the amateur photographer?

i bought this one a while back mate, and its been excellent, fair enough im not into all this SLR stuff, but its gave me some magic pictures so far, still playing around with all the settings

good choice, I had the very first model in that shape a few years ago, still works great today!justinRT said:http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007NLH84/ref=amb_asin-coop-1_90613191/203-0079550-5617550

Carl Zeiss maybe a good lens, and Sony may make mass market camera's, but you will NEVER see a professional photographer with Sony gear.
Canon/Nikon make the best camera's hands down, followed byKonica Minolta/Fuji/Pentax, but sure if your in Dixons you can pick yourself up a Sony.
And stop welling on a single point of my comment, .RAW photo's as i said may not be utilised by the majority of folk wanting a point and click, but given choice I personally would use .RAW on static scenery over another compression. Yes you wouldn't use it for trackdays, but thats a different type of photography all together.
