A smaller digital backup camera to my full-sized Canon SLR D 40: ANY suggestions?????
294075
Take a look at the Canon PowerShot S95 10 MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch inch LCD Sometimes it's just a pain to carry my gear around, even if it's a light pack (1 body and a couple lens), so I wanted to find a lightweight and compact solution to this problem. My initial research found that the general consensus for quality point-n-shoot was between the Canon PowerShot S95 and Panasonic Lumix LX-5. After debating and more reseach, I chose the S95 based on my needs. The S95 is smaller than the LX-5, so I could easily carry it in my pocket. I also like some of it's other features: F/2.0 @ 28mm, shoots in RAW, and my guilty pleasure - tilt-shift effect. Needless to say, both cameras have solid picture quality, but of course, not as good as your DSLR. There are plenty of reviews on both cameras. I'd suggest the S95, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with either one!

Hi lei, we suggest the LCS CSW case for carrying the camera with enough space for an extra battery. Thanks_Mitch

I'm kind of in the same situation Hamlet. They both look great, and I can't decide which one to pull the trigger on. I have a Canon XTi DSLR that I use and love but I want something smaller for travel and one of these seems to fit the bill. Did you make a choice yet? If you have what one did you pick up? I'm also looking at the Sony HX5V.

Sorry - that camera did not last all that long, and I cannot recall. I do recall that it was problematic. I recommend looking at Sony's Cybershot line - we have owned 3 of those since 2000, and all have lasted longer than any other compact camera.

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 cameraLook 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

Yes to all. You will likely want another battery as a back-up and a larger memory card. There are many battery brands, other than Nikon, that are significantly less expensive.

I have a 16 gb in the camera now and I would put whatever size I want in it! I am not aware of any size limitations.

Your Samsung camera looks like a large camera. I don't think it will fit in a TBC-404 (it's not very big!). I would definitely go with the dcb-304.

Bought one here in the UK and think its superb. Nice and small so fits in my camera bag without taking up much space.Here's a video I took using it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW8oS8ta9CQ

Cool,I went ahead and purcased a two GB card for it.It works well.The camera works fine... Loads of pics with two GB. I just snap away....

Same thing. Works with a 40d just fine and I cannot think of any reason why it would not work with any camera so long as you have a place to plug it in.

I'd recommend it as a backup camera yes. It is a good starter camera for someone new to the dslr format. It has served me well over the 2 years I've had mine.

I think that would be a better option than my DSLR. I'm planning on upgrading soon.

I would go with something larger for a DSLR. I think it would support the weight but something a little larger would be more steady with the camera attached, especially at any sort of an angle.

I haven't found one that perfectly suits my needs yet, though I am considering the Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1Here's a link to it on Amazon:http://tinyurl.com/q56h7qBut I'm holding out for something better until the end of this year. In which case I'll probably go with the Canon.

You need something larger. This would be marginal at best, and the worst case might involve damage to your camera.

Just ordered the Lowepro Cirrus 110 for this camera based upon a recommendation from a camera forum. It looks like a good bag, but I'll try to remember to post here when I find out for sure...
