Sony all day long. I've owned several point and shoot sony's, they are a workhorse man, i've traveled all over the world with them.

really?.....is there a big difference b/t 8 and 10ish megapixels?

the one posted is only 8mp...should I go for one that is 10-12?

Megapixels are a myth. All those point-and-shoot camers all have tiny ass sensors, so getting more MP isn't really worth it, not to mention, unless you're printing 8x10 on a regualr basis or edited and croping, a lot, then forget the higher MP.

I like the Canon G9 and now G10. I am a pro and use them as a point-and-shoot. The GF can use it with ease, and then I have my manual settings.

I have heard a lot of good things about canon powershots

ill look into that one

thanks guys!

just ordered a canon sd790 for 152 bucks :cool:....yay for online shopping!

i have a sony camera i love, i bought the girlfriend a cannon sd1100 is, love that one too.

nicely done :goodjob:

Word. Having tiny sensors increases the noise because of the small interdistance between the capture elements (even the number of those are the same). More space the higher your ISO can be.
