I'm not what you'd call an avid photographer, but when the opportunity occurs. I do like to take pictures. The Iphone takes a pretty decent picture for a phone, but it has no flash and it's only 2MP. I have a Canon S3IS, which is a great camera. It takes clear sharp pictures and it records video, but it's kind of large and if I don't have a backpack I have to carry it everywhere. When you're somewhere like an autoshow it can be annoying because you're trying to get in and out of cars, with a camera, bag, and whatever posters you've picked up along the way. So I needed something in between, something that was small enough to fit in my pocket, powerful enough to take a really clear picture, and records video. I've been researching small cameras by different companies such as Canon (obviously), Nikon, Casio, and Sony. Over the weekend I purchased a new digital camera. *drumroll* The winner is...the Casio EX-S10. It's a 10mp ultra-compact point and shoot. It's super small, takes great pictures and video. Unlike the Canon I have, the Casio video files can be dragged and dropped into Itunes. Yeah, it's that simple. That's important to a person with 4 video capabable Ipods. I've tooled around with it for the past couple days and I really like it. I've even posted one of the videos on Youtube. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for the above mentioned features, plus it has so many more that I haven't listed. The only negative thing I have to say is that it feels so small in my hands that I'm always afraid I'm going to drop it. But then again I'm used to taking pictures with a tank.
Here's the newbie (this picture was taken by the Canon S3IS):
Not a bad picture for a 3 year old dinosaur.
