which one of these cameras you recommend me ?

Hello,

I have narrowed down the choice of a digital camera for general
purpose and for rarely if needed also underwater to these cameras:

I want a camera that will take very good pics also at night, with low
light and mainly when travelling, so also not so heavy and compact in
size if possible.

Rarely I may use it for underwater photography so if case available
better.

Which of the following models you recommend me ?

Olympus C5050 or C6060


Canon: G5,* S50, S60 or A80

Any other brand or models you recommend me ?

I dont even know if the above models are still produced.

Thanks,

Mario

I think you mean the 5060. And the 5050 is the one people still want.
It's been discontinued.

Those look good, too.

All I know is that I use the C5050. And it's a workhorse that delivers
very good photographs particularly in RAW mode. Just get a 512-1MG CF
card, and a protective tube and UV filter or something for the lens,
and you're set. The underwater housing, their PT-015, is also very
well built (almost a steal for the money). Serves as good general
protection against dust, sand and the elements otherwise, as well.

I have a Canon S50 and am quite happy with it. If I were buying new I might
get the S60 instead as it is the current model. You can see some of the pix
I've taken at photos.yahoo.com/sjhouse - just the raw take without any
manipulation or cleanup.
