Default What digital compact camera?

Hi there,

I am looking for a digital compact camera, I have seen the following ones:

Canon IXUS 430
Canon Powershot A-80
Sony DSC-P12
Casio EXILIM Zoom EX-Z40
KODAK DX4530

Is there any other compact camera to add on the list? 4 - 5 mp range.

I appreciate:

User friendly
Lens
No known failures
Weight and dimensions
Power consumption
Internal storage capacity (even just 16 mb)
Price
Macro capacity
Whatever else

So which camera do you think will fit my demands better?

I hope you can help me!

Cheers.

I recommend you try some of the review sites: Steve's; Dpreview;
Megapixel; etc.

Kodak DX6440. Great camera. More overrides than the DX4530.

What you mean by more overrides?

That DX6440 is better than the other choices I've posted before?

Thanks!

Ok - I thought someone would have mentioned it already

I see that the Polaroid X530 with Foveon sensor is listed in UK catalogues
:-)

If you are new to the forum you may not realise the humour if I rename the
camera as the Paranoid X530 - it seems to be a consequence of using the
dreaded "F" word - a 6 letter one in this case.

There is another "F" word that is missing from your list - this time it is a
4-letter onw, Fuji (or Fuji FinePix) These are pretty good too IMHO

I would like to have a go on the Pranoid X530 to see if the claims & counter
claims hold (no explnation given here)

As for digital SLR (DSLR) I think I'll wait a year or 2 for further
evolutionary developments in sensor-lens-software-firmware enhancement.

If I have anything more to contribute it is: to get the most out of your
digital images you will need some software too. There is no need to pay 2
or 3 times the cost of your camera on industry standard software package
(BTW if digital imagery really does take off I'll expect to see a reduction
in PS CS due to wider consumer base switching from pro- industry- commerce-
base to include home users & amateurs in a non-commercial setup. I wonder
if Adobe reads this NG?)

Try IrfanView (a freebie by download or magazine cover disk), or software
from JASC, Roxio and I daresay many others as the spend on digital image
processing software increases)

Now, how about a non-commercial license from Adobe? restricted to homeusers
in a non-cemmercial basis? Or am I far too naive?

ps - if you have a PC running Windows XP it makes things altogether easier
on the software-hardware-camera (-cardreader) linages. If not - wait until
Windows 64 bit appears - probably later thius year, runs on 64 bit chips

Rather than just automatic settings, you can adjust the exposures lighter or
darker, in those auto settings when need be. Look at the Kodak web site for
the specs. You will be impressed. It is a really great camera for the money.
Colors are brilliant, sharp.

Hi Mr SL,

Kodak also has a CX7530, a DX7630, and an LS753 These are all 5 or 6
megapixel models.

You can check them out at http://www.kodak.com/go/digitalcameras

Should you have any questions on them after review, let me know. I am
around most of the time.

Talk to you soon,

Ron Baird
Eastman Kodak Company
