Canon S80, Sony DSC-N1, Canon A620 or Sony Cybershot P200
I recently had a tragic accident with my sony cybershot P200 (dropped
it) and am now in the market for a new camera. I would like to hear your opinions on the above. I'm very interested in the Canon S80 and hear great things about it, but I have owned a Canon S400 in the past and every single picture I took had red eye - I HATED IT!!!! The sony cybershot (due to the location of the flash onthe camera) had zero red eye, but it was inconsistant - some pictures were very very clear and others had soft edges or under/over exposure occured. Overall I was happy with the P200 - and it seems to be my cheapest option - but want to see if anyone has any experience with the Canon S80 or Canon A620. Below are some links to the reviews I've read: Canon S80: (Best Price $449) http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec.../canon_s80.asp Canon A620: (Best Price $359) http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...canon_a620.asp Sony P200: (Best Price $299) http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscp200/ Sony DSC-N1: (Best Price $499) http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...sony_dscn1.asp Let me know which one you guys would purchase? |

I'm in exactly the same position as you (except I didn't drop a P200!). I've narrowed it down to the S80 and the A620. I like the S80 because of the extra wide angle of the lens compared to the A620 but I like the A620 because I can use AA batteries when in the field. I've heard of people having problems with the S80 front and battery doors which worries me a little. Also, the S80 is about a third more money at the moment. My head says to buy the A620 but my heart is going to go for the S80 and it may just be the 28mm lens that does it for me. |

The n1 has less to grip if you dropped the p200 it has great features
although no filter ring adaptor, viewfinder, easy tv hookup without 70$ adaptor, cheap AA, wide angle, S80 has better manual controls, but screen is small. |

You could invest in a wide angle supplementary lens for the A620. Dave Cohen |

Canon S80, Sony DSC-N1, Canon A620 or Sony Cybershot P200
Well, I didn't exactly drop my P200 - it was knocked from my hands.
After looking at another review website I have found that both the S80 and A620 have red eye problems. If it comes down to it, I'll buy another P200 just to avoid the redeye, but I have not seen any reviews on the N1 yet that mention red eye. Since the N1 is also a cyber-shot, I'm thinking it probably won't have red eye problems. Below is the redeye examples I found for the S80 and A620: A620: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/ca...iew/redeye.jpg S80: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/ca...iew/redeye.jpg The S80 isn't as bad, but the reviewers said it is a constant problem. The image quality and lack of red eye on the P200 has made me decide to try to N1 - I will let you all know how it works out. Thanks |

I ended up going with the P200 and got it for $265 off eBay. I
couldn't pass up the deal. If I had went with the DSC-N1 I would of ended up paying $600+. I figured I go with the P200 as a point and shoot and save up for a Canon Rebel SLR. Also, I saw a few pictures taken with a N1 online, and it contained the dreaded red-eye - which I HATE! The p200 produces red-eye free pictures 98% of the time - I love it!!! |
