New England Off Topic and Banter as Most Brilliantly Proposed by Cape Cod MINI

[bethandlouis]

I am in the market for a new digital camera but I am not in the market to spend a lot. I was looking at the Canon PowerShot S410 they are on sale at Amazone for $250. I don't know a lot about Canons, I know they have a pretty good SLR but not in the market for that. I am a strictly point and shoot kind of girl, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

That is an excellent camera. I had the S100, Susan has the S200...and now I have an S400. There is another Canon model that is more slim than that series - but that model probably costs $400 or so, but that's just a guess. It's still a small camera which you can easily fit in your pocket. I'm a big fan of it but if I was going to get a new one it would probably be the skinnier one. For $250 though it's great.

No connection, just a calming agent for anyone getting too upset over the verbal antics of the Commonwealth's finast....still recovering from 3/17. I'm sure.

I just bought the Canon Digital Elph (SD200) for my daughter for $300. It's a really nice package -- plenty on options, but excellent as point and shhot, and the size means she'll not think twice about taking it along. It also has very little shutter lag, which is always a problem with lower proced digital cameras.

I looked on that thread. It looked as though some of them were trying to have intelligent conversations and others were just spouting off at the mouth. I mean no comparsion to the thread though.

I had Louis look at the specs because I am camera dumb. We have a Panasonic that is 2.2MP so this woould be quite a jump. Thanks for all the help!

[bethandlouis]

Sorry for the double post. Decided on the A95. It may be more than a point and shoot but I think if our photography skills develop we can "grow" into this camera a little more.

Thanks for all the advice and any more is appreciated.

I've got the previous model, the A80 and it's very capable. You can use it as a point and shoot, but it has all the control you'd want if you want to try to do manual stuff too. It also takes AA batteries which is very useful for us when we're using it on vacation as an underwater camera. The smaller models take Canon propriatary battery packs and if you forget to charge it, you're out of luck. I've had many Canon cameras and I've liked them all - I'm sure you'll do great with the A95

Can't really say, haven't had much to do with the new crew.

I've only had brief interaction with what's-her-name (Andrea?). When my mother bought her MCC last fall, I mainly set the deal up for her remotely thru my salesman (Rex) even though he was technically out of that department by then (my mother hates dealing with car sales people, so I did a lot of the legwork for her). When it came time to put her order into the system, the new pair tried to stick Mum with some fat "A.D.M. fee" (additional dealer mark-up), I forget how much, but one call to Rex made that go away, so she ended up paying sticker. When a previous customer who bought an MCS and a Works kit from you brings you a gift-wrapped MCC sale, it's kinda bad form to try to gouge them. Regardless, from what I saw on on Friday the A.D.M. crap has since gone away...
