Small "convention" Camera
 

I think I am gonna buy myself a X-mas gift this year and pick up a small camera for use at conventions and other events so I can be one of the "cool kids" snapping pics too.. :1orglaugh I have my bigger cameras but I hate to lug those around all day so I want something pocket size that I can snap away with.

Any ideas for a good one???

Should be around 5MP, long battery life, decent priced memory for bigger sticks and as I said smaller.. Around the $300 range give or take a few depending on the cost of the larger memory if needed...

Thanks!! :pimp

casio

lemme browse

Damn 7.2MP.. Nice!!

I was actually kinda looking at a similar one to that.. The EX-S500

It almost seems TOO small tho.. I would prob get drunk and sit on it and crush it!! :winkwink: Its in the size and price range tho..

I just picked up the Canon SD450 and really, really like it. :)

I also like the canons.. I have had a powershot for awhile and its held up GREAT for me.. I have dropped it and beat on it amazingly and it still works great.. The only problem is that its a brick....

I was looking at:

I would settle on the:

This one is kinda interesting too..

I do like the screens on the casios.. they are bigger on the small bodies..

I like the Canon power shot family. I have always had really good experiences with the battery life and they take decent pictures. Casios are probably all right, but I can't get over thinking about the crappy little keyboards they used to sell.

I've got 3 casio exilims, upgrading to he latest model now and then, VERY nice cameras! :) Highly recommended!

that looks perfect!

TAKE THE EXILIM YOU WILL LOVE IT

my gf has one and its fucking amazing

Seems to be between the powershot and the exilim... Any other votes or thoughts or ideas??

I got one out of my last fruit loops box; a disposable
I'll be bringing it Vegas for sure!!!!!!!!!

I bought my brother a 4. something one for x-mas last year, and I dont really like the photos from it.

I just bought 3 of those sony cybershots. they rock.

I was just fucking around with that camera yesterday ... juicy has it now ... it's nice .. I have the Sony T7 and i love it ... they both slide right in the back pocket and feel no bigger then a wallet .. :thumbsup

Ahh the T7 is sexy.. http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTE...DigitalCameras

And hell if Juicy has the casio how can I go wrong!! haha :pimp

the T7 is great ..plus juicy lost his and gave me all his extras .. :)

the Casio is just a tad thicker but not much ..in fact it felt a bit less delicate because of the extra thickness ... :thumbsup

Yea as I said earlier I would be almost afraid of breaking something as thin as the casio small one or the T7.. BUT I do really like the size since I want something I can carry around alot and not be bulky.. The smaller it is the more likely I think I will be willing to carry it around and use it...

My powershot is good but the shutter speed is crap.

i got this from newegg for 250 i love it:

Pentax Optio S6 6MP $300 2.5" screen. What more could you want :)

That's what I have - will you come teach me how to use it? I swear, my old digital camera is 6 or 7 years old and I didn't realize the new ones did all that cool stuff :)

One thing pointed out to me regarding the Sonys is that they have the powerstick which most multi-card readers won't read. That made me decide to the Canon.

I also looked at the SD550 but was told unless I was blowing pictures up to poster size, it wasn't worth the extra size/weight to get the 2 extra megapixels.

Seriously, the SD450 is the coolest little thing. I got it at Amazon and got a $20+ credit towards a memory card (which you know you're going to need since they all come with such tiny little cards). It was about $280 with shipping and stuff so Newegg has the better price.

And get a case - the screen is huge and I suspect subject to scratching easily.

Two VERY good points.. I am leaning towards the canon since I still like my old brick and its been very good to me..
