Need New Travel Camera
I want to get a new travel camera and am thinking about one of the
Canon PowerShot series. I have an older S400 and was happy with it.Would appreciate any tips on something that is smaller/lighter and is as good? THANKS R |

You may find that a smaller and lighter camera is more convenient to carry in a pocket or small bag, but more difficult to hold and operate. In other words, if you get any good tips, try not to buy one unless you are able to find a camera store that will let you hold and operate it a bit, or if the store will allow you to return it "no questions asked" within a reasonable amount of time. |

Need New Travel Camera
Don't have a clue if it's lighter or smaller, but I have a Canon
powershot 500 that I'm willing to part with since getting a SLR. I also have 4 fully charged batteries, 2 chargers, and camera case to go with it. Don't know if you must have a new camera, but this one is in excellent condition and has rarely been used. Used it a few times and realized I needed more from a camera and went with the SLR. Just something to think about. Jackie rhonda wrote: I want to get a new travel camera and am thinking about one of the Canon PowerShot series.

Lots of choices out there! I picked up a Panasonic FX01, and love the
performance and the wide angle lens. I've printed up to 11 x 14 from this cam and the prints look very nice. Good lens range, IS, nice controls, and uses standard SD cards.

They are less expensive than other cameras with similar characteristics. For example, I recently bought the DMC-LZ3, with 5 Mp, 6X zoom, and image stabilization for $199. It is light in weight, and has good battery life, even with alkaline batteries, and that makes it good for travel. And the image stabilization (which works) is a plus if you don't want to carry a tripod or want to take photos from a moving car or bus. And I like the picture color and crispness. |
