Buying a new camera (Canon PowerShot SD1400IS 14.1MP) Anyone else have one?

I’m buying a new pocket camera as I have finally decided to retire my old camera to be my tripod camera as Its just to big and heave to lug around anymore and takes longer to boot up and refuses to focus is I’m moving. I am an avid canon lover and have been looking at the Canon PowerShot SD1400IS 14.1MP Digital Camera for a while now, and I was wondering if anyone has comments or reviews of this camera having one of their own? Is it a good idea to get one? whats the picture quality like? is it worth it or do you have recommendations for another camera of the same specs. I love canon for is modes and the color swap technology and for the picture quality on my old beast. Please tell me your thoughts on this camera or what one you would recommend. I’m a hobby photographer but am taking art in the fall with a photography component so a good camera is a must. Thanks!

The Canon PowerShot SD1400IS 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD is exactly the kind of camera I have been wanting. I photograph documents a lot, so I am very concerned with the amount of detail that can be captured, especially in relatively low-light conditions. The quality of the pictures is significantly better than any other camera I have tried.

PROS:
-Produces consistently clear pictures
-Extremely compact, lightweight, and sturdy
-Easy to use (functions are intuitively organized)
-Uses standard USB cable instead of a proprietary one (SONY)
-Uses standard memory instead of a proprietary one (SONY)
-No wheels or toggle switches jutting out to get caught on things and mess up the settings (when I wanted to take regular pictures, I always seemed to be shooting movies, or photographing in a strange light setting with my SONY camera)

CONS:
-Buttons seem a little less solid than previous CANON models (my CANON IXY from about 8 years ago was designed a lot better)
-Buttons are flush with the body of the camera, so I have to operate it using my fingernails sometimes (again, the buttons on my CANON IXY were much easier to use)
-The door to the digital port for connecting the USB cable doesn’t swing out very wide, and I have a feeling that if I am not careful it may not last long (the CANON IXY had a soft rubber cover that was much more flexible)

In short, this is a great product, but I hope that CANON will re-introduce some of their older design features in the new cameras in order to make them a little sturdier and easier to use. I have not noticed any problems with dead pixels–the LCD screen is beautiful. Please note that you will need to buy a memory card separately. It does not come with one.

What is the best underwater digital camera?

I am looking for an everyday point and shoot digital camera that can fit in my pocket and withstand some water. Olympus Stylus Tough series seems great except all reviews say photos are not sharp and are too soft. Canon D10 says photo quality is great but camera is big and ugly. Any first hand suggestions? I would like to keep the price under $300. I am currently using a Canon G9 as my daily camera but want something smaller.

If you read the conclusion of a group test here, it says that it recommends the Canon D10 and Panasonic TS1 over the others: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/Q209waterproofgroup/page17.asp

The Pentax W60 happens to be the runner-up, and it should be considered as well if you prefer looks over function.

Have fun and good luck!

Looking for a pocket camera any recommendations?

I’m looking to get myself a new digital camera, the camera I have is what I call a tripod cam. Its meant to sit on a tripod, but is horrible for traveling, as too big and doesn’t fit. So I’m currently looking for a pocket camera, I love Canon, but brand doesn’t really matter. I’m looking for something with anti-shake, so my pictures aren’t blurry, something that’s really fast, ‘pocket sized’ and 12 or more mega-pixels. What kind of camera would you recommend? I need something reliable as well that doesn’t eat up batteries (even if their rechargeable). Thanks!

you can consider Canon PowerShot SX210IS 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 14x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD
