Which is better - Sony P-100 or Kodak DX-7440 ?
Trying to make a decision on which of these two to buy. Both have plenty
of scene modes. The Kodak has a larger LCD. The size and build of the cameras has me leaning towards the Sony. The Sony is very convenient to carry (can even fit in pants pocket) while the Kodak is bulky. The Sony is made of metal. The Kodak is plastic. Of the reviews I've seen the Kodak exhibits more noise in it's images. I've handled both at Best Buy and found both of them to feel good. I like the compactness of the Sony. The Kodak features aperture and shutter priority, the Sony does not. I've seen images from the Sony (very good) on many camera review websites but non from the Kodak. Though one doesn't usually think of Sony when the subject of "cameras" comes up, I would think Kodak would be an even lesser manufacturer to come to mind. If anyone can add anything towards my making an informed decision I would be very appreciative....Thanks. |

It still sells more than anyone else, so WHY wouldn't you think of it? Which camera you buy depends on which best suits YOUR needs (and wants), and it appears you have already decided on the Sony. Read your post as if it were from someone else and see if you don't agree. |

Read your post as if it were from someone else and see if you don't agree. I wouldn't think of it because Kodak while making cameras for a very long time, is overshadowed by other more widely known manufacturers (Canon, Nikon, Minolta etc...) The last Kodak I bought was a ten dollar disposable. Now if we talk "film" then yes I agree with you. No, I have not already decided (though if you read my post again you'll see I am leaning towards the Sony). The final decision will come when I can compare the image quality. Guess I'll have to wait for someone to actually go out and buy a Kodak. |

If you want to look at some pictures, I took about 450 on a recent Alaskan Cruise. Go to www.webshots.com and look for user rphunter42 and check the 'homepage' for the albums. Very few of the shots have been processed in any way. Bear in mind that they shots have been compressed twice, once in the camera and once more by Webshots for storage. |

I'll look at it later today as I hope to make a decision by the middle of the week. I don't know maybe I'm expecting too much from a digital camera. I am currently using an F-100 but find that I due to the weight (lenses too) I leave it behind most of the time. |
