Time for a new one - our Olympus is 5 years old, 4MP, and has seen better days. Looking for something thin and light enough to carry in a front pocket, 9MP or higher, and under $175. Kind of leaning towards the Exilim right now, based on features and picture quality (after looking at a friend's).
What do you have and what do you like / dislike about it? |

I've been using the kodaks point and shoot cameras for a while, been through 5 of them in 4 years, but to their credit, I beat the shit out of them and don't take care of them at all. Compared to some of the other higher quality cameras I see around they are way more durable. The pictures they take arnt the greatest, and even though my current one is 8mp, it does take fuzzzy pictures sometimes.

stay away from Fuji's
Nothing but problems, hell, we;ve sent it back to the repair place twice, and it fuck up your storage card too. Irritating, especially when on vacay.

The things to look for are aperture, auto focus speed, focus type, etc. Of course you have to balance size vs picture quality and pre-determine what you're using the pics for after you take them. Personally, I'd rather have more optical zoom than megapixels. My other "button" is how fast the camera is ready to take another pic. Usually, the higher meg cameras are a bit slow to load holding you up from another pic right away. Last edited by Amber Lamps; 05-28-2009 at 01:53 PM.. |

I have a Canon that I like quite a bit, the rest of my family uses Nikon though. Anyone remember what camera CEO has? I think its some crazy 16 MP or some shit.

Lee,
I picked up the new Samsung at Best buy- 12. something MP for about $200 and I love the camera and it's the size of a credit card. I did a lot of shopping around too and found this to be the best ultra-thin (and affordable) camera on the market. |

I've had 2 Casio Exilims (7MP/10MP). They take great pictures and are about as thin and lightweight as they come. The 7MP rattled apart after a year of use on the camera mount on the bike and the 10MP belongs to some cabbie in Beijing now.
![]() I have an Olympus now, not sure I like it as much as the Casio... the photos tend to be more blurred and washed out than my previous camera. If you want a screamin' deal on a Sony, shoot me a PM. Edit: Oh yeah, welcome back stranger!! |
