Digital cameras: Casio, Canon, Panasonic…?
I had a Casio 10MP Exilim (got it at Halloween). Had it for less than 3 months, and the lense got stuck in the out position (just as I was going to snap a photo)- and wouldn’t go back in. That being said – I had to return it.
Now, I have store credit to buy a camera…
These are the ones I can choose from (within my budget):
The same Casio 10MP Exilim (give it another try) OR
Canon Powershot A650 IS (12MP)
Canon Powershot SD850 IS (8MP)
Panasonic DMC-FZ18 (8MP)
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55 (8MP)
Any advice out there?
I have two kids under the age of two and I use my camera for them mostly. Lots and lots of pics, action shots, quick photos, and a lot of short video…
PLEASE HELP! Any advice would be appreciated!!!
thanks!
I’d personally choose a Canon for its reputation and its position as a leader. However, considering these cameras are within the same price range, they have pretty much the same set of features so any would do. The Panasonic DMC-FZ18 looks very nice and is probably the best bet in there since it’s a “bridge” camera, in other words a cross-over between compact P/C and a digital SLR. It SHOULD give you better performances than compact point and shoots cameras (i.e. less delay between shots, better resolution because of its larger sensor, better noise control etc.) good luck!
