Need help finding digital camera

Published on at 12:00 UTC by #permalink

Jodi and I have decided to get a digital camera. Specifically, we’ve decided on the Canon Powershot S30. We had settled on the Nikon Coolpix 775, but switched to the Canon for the following reasons:

  • 3.2 Megapixel camera: the Coolpix was only 2.14
  • More ergonomic shape and weight - the 775 was just a bit TOO compact and boxy.
  • The Powershot has a microphone for capturing video AND sound; it can also be used to annotate stills I believe.
  • The menuing system on the Powershot is a marvel of tiny Information Architecture. The Nikon’s menu was nearly incomprehensible.
