best compact camera for under $250 CDN?

What’s the best digital camera I can get for under $250?

Last year, I purchased the Canon SD1000, and I was really happy with it, but I lost it!

I’m looking for something similar. Easy to use, can fit in my pocket and take great pictures.

What do you recommend, and why?

Thanks

bestbuy.ca have Canon SD870 IS on sale today (11/21) for CDN$239.99 and it includes a mini tripod.

It is a 8 megapixel camera with 3" LCD. It has image stabilization which helps to reduce blur in pictures.

Canon Powershot G9 VS. Canon Powershot G10 Digital Camera?

I am a new beginner photographer, I really like both of these cameras, but I cant really tell / decide what one is better.
I am interested in all types of photography, photographing people, landscapes, everything…
If you own one of these or have used these cameras, what one do you think provides best performance?

also feel free to suggest other good semi - professional digital cameras.
But remember, I would still like for the main question to still be answered 1’st =]

I still own my old 4MP Canon G3 and it was a very good camera in it's time. It even had a faster lens (F2.0-F3.0) and a remote control, which you won't find on any of the newer G series cameras. Anyway, it's just sitting around in a bag doing nothing these days because I have moved on…

The G9 and G10 are definitely NOT semi professional cameras. They are really not that much better than a lot of other point & shoot type cameras (because they have a very small sized sensor). The only real similarity they have compared to semi pro or pro cameras are their ability to shoot in RAW and that they have a hotshoe (for external flash). However the image quality they produce in no way compares to a dSLR camera.

But, either should be perfectly fine for general everyday use, especially in good outdoor lighting, but they do not have good high ISO capability…making low light shooting a challenge. Also you would always need to shoot in RAW to get the very best out of them.

The G10 has not been reviewed as yet, so you should wait till it comes out before making a final decision. The G9 and G10 both feature IS (optical image stabilization) which is a big plus. And the G10 also includes the new Digic IV processor, so it will be interesting to see how it handles image quality, especially noise.

You know…for less than a couple of hundred dollars more, you could probably buy an entry level dSLR (from either Canon or Nikon) and that's what I recommend you do if you want better image quality and performance. The G10 has 14.7MP. If you want that many MP, buying a dSLR is a better option (even a dSLR with less MP will still be much better).

good luck…

SDHC cards offer larger-volume data storage and optimized recording performance with support for FAT 32 file formats. In addition, Kingstons SDHC cards use new speed “class” ratings known as Class 2, 4 and 6 that deliver a minimum data transfer rate for optimum performance with SDHC devices. Although identical in size to todays standard SD card, the new SDHC cards are designed differently and are only recognized by SDHC host devices. To ensure compatibility, look for the SDHC logo on cards and host devices (cameras, camcorders, etc.). For added reliability and durability, our solid-state SDHC memory cards are built of nonvolatile memory components and have no moving parts that could wear out or break. All cards are 100-percent tested and are backed by a lifetime warranty and 24/7 live technical support. Compatibility: Digital cameras, MP3 players, PDA’s, cellular phones, camcorders, and more.
