Canon Digital Pocket Cameras

High end photography on a budget.

Jan 25, 2009

What is an amazing, low cost digital camera?

I am going to Japan this summer, to visit my old family friend, and I want to capture every moment.
I am looking for a camera that is/has:

Less than $200
Takes nice high quality images.
Good zoom, for those pictures that are far away.
Features like macro, night, and face recognition, that work very well.
Is pocket size.
Flash.

You know I want a nice camera, that will work for awhile and that I can take great pictures. I was looking into the Canon SD1100, but heard there was noise in the pictures, and than the Fujifilm FinePix Z200fd which I haven't found reviews on. Thanks.

Thanks :)
i got mine for $ 100 bucks. It takes amazing pictures. You can get them at future shop or toys r us. Its a Samsung S760. It also has great face detection.

hope i helped :)

    Canon SD1100 IS is a good choice
    Canon Powershot A590IS is cheap and good.

    All compact digital cameras suffer from noise.

    Try taking pics in low light, at night, candle light whatever. Prepare to be let down.

    The camera you want for 200 or less doesn't exist. Well at least the great pic quality and no noise thing, the bells and whistles you can get.

    Go ahead and get the Canon if it has the features you want. The pics are not going to have any more noise in them than those from Sony, Nikon or Fuji in the same price range.

    Take a look at this canon http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=17480 it has everything you need, but the zoom is a 10x optical. Better to have the extra reach, how often do you go to japan? It's a bit bigger, but not too much. The list is 249 which means 199 or less would most likely be the street price.
