Canon IXUS 55 vs Casio EXILIM EX-Z60
Can anyone recommend one of these cameras above the other?
I'm due to start a degree in graphic design later this month and we've been told we'll need a decent digital camera at some point. I'd been looking already and was edging towards the Casio, whereas the course tutor has recommended the Canon. Anyone able to offer any info? Thanks. |

I've got a Canon IXUS 55 (aka SD450) and I'd say its biggest plus is that it has an optical viewfinder. That gives the edge in bright lighting conditions and holding the eyepiece against your forehead reduces camera shake. It is also listed as including a charger, although I'd be surprised if the Casio didn't too. The Canon is a great little slip-into-pocket-or-purse camera but I really miss its not having the image stabiliser my main camera has (Panasonic FZ30). I would consider foregoing the optical viewfinder for the stabiliser included with most of the Panasonic range. -- S. Nufkin [I started life with nothing and still have most of it left] |
