Samsung SL620 vs. Canon SD1200 IS?
I am looking to buy a compact digital camera that is durable, takes decent pictures, and can record video. I don’t need anything too special. My budget is also $150. I found the Canon for $149 and the Samsung for $129. The Samsung is 12MP and has 5x optical zoom, while the Canon is 10MP and has 3x optical zoom. I know that Canon’s have a great reputation, but I don’t know much about the Samsung’s. Both have good online reviews.
Canon:

Samsung:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+12.2-Megapixel+Digital+Camera+-+Red/9218697.p?id=1218061796621&skuId=9218697
Would it be worth it to pay the extra 20 dollars and purchase the Canon or is the Samsung a better deal with it’s great features at a cheaper price?
Are all the Canon specs correct? It says image resolution 5616×3744. That would make it a 21mp camera. If that spec is wrong I would go to the Canon site and check all the specs there. BestBuy may have listed the specs for the wrong camera.
I would most likely go with the Canon anyway over Samsung. Canon just has more years of camera experience than Samsung does. I would instinctively trust it more and trust Canons customer service more if I ever did have a problem.
