Hey guys, just about to ship out tomorrow on a cross canada trip and just thought before I left I would pick up a new camera. My Canon Powershot Elph was a great camera but it seems to be acting up a lot now and I think it's time to upgrade. Plus I don't want to get out there and have a camera that is on the fritz.
So I was thinking about maybe getting another Canon

But I also love my friend's Fuji camera as the pictures look so crisp.
Basic needs for the camera are
- something small that can fit comfortably in a pocket (so slim)
- My old camera was 3 megapixels and seemed fine but I see up to 8 megapixel cameras are out there now. Is there a noticibly big difference between 3-8 megapixels? I am just taking pictures of friends/family and at the shows so I don't need anything too crazy
- I would like the camera to have video capability (i think just about all cameras do that now anyways)
- Something that has a decent battery life
Anyways as you can tell I am not a big camera guru so some advice would be very appreciated. I will have lots of pics for you guys when I get back from the East Coast
Thanks,
DH
