What camera would you choose?

Hello,

I was wondering, what camera are you gonna choose? Personally, I think I will go for the Canon S1 IS

The cameras available are

Canon S1 IS
Sony DSC-P100
Sony DSC-W1
Canon A95

I don't know what is the best one and which one is the most expensive... But probably someone will seek for that ;)

Sony DSC-W1

[quotec95a4b88d3="flatline"]Sony DSC-W1[/quotec95a4b88d3]

May I ask, why would you choose that one?

DSC-W1 is what I want too. Looks cool. Unfortunately 30 yellows, no greens.

i actually bought the dsc-p100, when i was choosing them i choose the dsc-p100 over the W1, if you actually got to see the W1 its a freakin large camera, no where near pocket size.

if your prioritys are pocket size then dsc-p100 (its a nice camera, personal experience, like a 2-3 sec boot time D )

if you want zoom go for the Canon S1 IS very nice camera if i must say, large though, 10x optical zoom, you dont want digital
if you want a ok sized camera while keeping in mind a very nice one, get the a95

since i already own the dsc-p100 (spent $300 -_-) i would choose either the S1 IS or the A95, both sound really tempting right now, i would like more zoom from my cameras)

Hehe, I like the S1 because I can make videos D

Im choosing the S1 as well... It received the highest rating on Cnet out of the 4 and is also the most expensive out of the 4... It says you can zoom in on a jet and snap a clear photo, even though I dont need that much zooming capability, it's nice to have... Im willing to loose a lil bit of quality for a cool feature, and I like the fact that I could turn the screen to take pictures of myself... And it looks high tech and cool...

I'd choose the money. You can buy ANY of the offered cameras for less than the amount of money they'll send you. Plus, it then opens up the field to other cameras as well.

I am about to order my camera and believe that I will be choosing the s1 IS because of the optical zoom and image stabilization. I also am waiting on 1 referral to turn completed and I will be getting the 512mb CF card as their bonus gift.

Is this a Type 1 or Type 2 card?

the only problem w/ sony cameras i have heard is that they use memory sticks. So in the future if you use a camera that doesnt use memory sticks you need to buy a new memory card. But if i were u i would go to a best buys ot circuit city and see what they tell you about the cameras
its always best to see it yourself

yeah, memory sticks are definitely a pain. I got the S1 and I'm very happy with it.

yes the S1 IS is VERY nice, only down sides are....

1. Very big[/size39a5423de5]
2. for some possibly not 3.2 (i think or 3.3) MP isnt enough

A95 is the best of the cameras, but cash is the best prize on the site.

dsc-w1 got the best ratings from pcworld and alot of other places

i actually had the urge to get it so i went out and got it one day

its awesome and smaller than the other 5 megapixels

Don't know what you trust, but I trust Cnet.com, and A95 smoked the competition. Also, someone already mentioned that Sony uses Sony-only USB sticks, which are not compatible with any non-Sony hardware (obviously).

Either way, cash > camera.

yeah im getting the cash because i bought the camera i wanted in stores

now i dont feel so bad for spending $300+ on a new camera if i am getting that much back

Interesting...thanks for the info
