Is this camera fine for travel? is the Canon SD450 a good choice?

I love this camera. I bought a small case logic case and take it with me everywhere. I wanted a camera that was small enough to where I didnt need a massive bag to lug around. I was introduced to this camera via the European version from some associates who were visiting from Sweden. Great pictures, ease of use, and battery life is long lasting. I bought 2 additional batteries for it but very seldom use them as the one that came with it lasts a very long time.

I think that it is a very good 4 mp camera that I have used to the many pictures over the years. I have used this camera on my travel around the world and I recommend this camera to anyone who would think about using it.

The Fuji S makes a great grab and go camera but if you need instant shutter response for once in a lifetime shot, you will need an SLR. I am a pro and use the s1800 for travel but all studio sittings with kids and wedding receptions are done with a Fuji S5 SLR (body only about $500, used)

Thank you Tech Guy. I think I will stay with my current Rebel XT (350 in Europe) as it offers my great pics but not so fancy, large, back-LCD. I used to have a Canon EOS RT which was heavier and more robust than Rebel, but I got used to the smaller, ligther camera now. Video, I can live with the videos my wife gets in her Nikon Coolpix pocket camera. Lenses I have upgraded last year to 28-80 and 100-300 both USM. So being an amateur photographer, I think I will spend the extra bucks in something else.I have some of my pics posted in http://www.sxc.hu/profile/sebadanon which is a nice free stock photo site.

Image qualitly for sd4000 is good. The video is wonderful - very good in low light with a f/2.0 lens. The SD4500 had higher definition video at 1080 as opposed to 720 on the sd4000. The S95 has more manual controls. I like this camera except - no F/2.0 lens, no zooming when shooting video. My fav is the SD4000.

Thank you so much for your prompt response. My camera is still on its way:) but I am planning on using it in UK and Europe in a few months' time. My current camera is very hard on battery consumption so I thought I should make sure I don't constantly run out of juice. Also I will need chargers for iPad and phone overseas and don't want to buy too many gadgets. So, I will see what I will end up buying. Again, I so appreciate your input!

If you have 2 choices, then you must go and try both cameras and try to choose by what you feel. I have the Canon, its my 3rd G series (had the 9 and 11, among 6 or 7 other cameras) and overall its an amazing camera, really. Very VERY quick, with is something that can really make a differnece when hunting for that special pic. Nothing to envy in luminosity to the best reflex out there, it takes pictures with low light that are incredible for the size and price of this machine. And my favourite! the slow motion video recorder, great adition and lots of fun there. The wifi? never used it, yet!

I just bought a 40D and I think it is a great camera. As posted, there is not best choice but I am sure if the extra (few) bucks is not an issue, we should go for the 40D. It is also the latest sensor and I found it to be really good. Took some shots and it is great.

The above having been said, if you really need compactness, and if you can get reasonably close to the action, the Canon SD 990 may be one of the better choices. The sensor is supposed to be the same as the G10. While it is noisy at ISO 800, it is reputed to be above average for small sensor cameras, as seen at http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_PowerShot_G10/noise.shtml I have not done my own experiments with this.

I usually try to avoid answering questions I don't have first hand information about because a bad answer is worse than no answer. BUT. I bought the A590 primarily because of its' "pocketable" size and excellent ratings. It fits comfortably in a shirt pocket so I'm sure it would fit in a purse. Just remember it is usually listed as a compact camera versus the slightly smaller/thinner ultra-compacts available.And, not heavy at all.

It is a great camera with lots of high-end features- GPS and WIFI are just a few. If that is important, I would say go for it. If it isn't, than I would say go with a less expensive model.

This is a full frame camera. I'd pick a lens which opens wide. ... preferably F 2.8 or 1.8...You'll get a good foreground isolation / background blur with these lenses. For example, the 24-70mm F2.8 or the 50 mm F/1.4. Then again, if you intend to use this for travel etc., Any of the lenses you have here are good. My personal preference would be the 28-300.. Just because of the range.

Hi Ginett.The camera is pretty light, but does have a little bit of a "solid" feel to it. If weight is a concern, you could also consider a Panasonic model, which I bought for my wife to keep in her purse. It is a little smaller and lighter but includes a wide angle lens, long lasting battery and a (slightly less powerful, but still very adequate) 10X Zoom. This one is a Panasonic Lumix Model DMC-ZS02. It has most of the features of the larger one and costs around $50 less. Either camera will easily fit in a shirt pocket. Hope this helps.

How about a Canon Tx-1? I got a brand new US model on fleabay for $285. It's a fantastic point & shoot and takes 720p video. Best of all, it has beautiful Canon optics with a 10x zoom lens that is active while shooting movies.Negatives are tiny controls (what do you expect on a camera this powerful in this small form factor), tiny screen (ditto), and m-jpeg compression for the AVI files.Check it out. It's a fantastic camera.

This camera comes with decent 5X zoom. But a problem with this camera is that there is some time lag between you click shutter button and actual image is collected. Therefore, I don't recommend this camera for action pictures. This camera comes with good water proof and shock proof. If that's the main reason for buying a new camera, this camera is recommended. Your daughter needs some practice for action pictures before she goes Africa. If picture quality is priority, I would recommend Cannon EOS M for picture quality and relatively smaller size.

I know you want to spend under $50, but you need to spend at least $100 and buy the Sandisk Extreme memory card that is 16 gigs, it is a class 10 card and it has a 30mb per second read and if you go anything lower then that, then you will never untap the true potential of this camera Look on here or on Ebay and enter Sandisk Extreme SDHC 16gb and you can find some priced around $100, if you are willing to settle for an 8gb card, you can get the same card for $50 on both sites
