I am looking to pick up a top of the line compact digital camera and was down to either Canon or Nikon. I just always heard great things about Nikon and I currently own a mid range Canon Canon Powershot S500

Can you guys please recommend me a high end compact camera? I don't want to limit to a price range but what ever you guys think is a better bang for buck is also considered.

Thanks!
 
Since I shoot a Nikon DSLR, I got my wife a Coolpix 8800. Quite frankly, I don't like it. Everything about it is slow. Slow to focus, slow to zoom, shutter lag, etc, etc, etc.

Mind you she likes it so YMMV. Dunno if the Canons are any faster
 
All the P&S' are slow compared to the Dslrs'. I know I cant use a P&S anymore since I bought my D50.
Both companies make great cameras, it should boil down to having image stabilization for your zooms. Atleast I would want that.

Click to expand...

I don't really have anything to compare them to...

That 8800 is very large and I was thinking something a bit more pratical and well...just smaller.
 
since i am a canon fan boy;) i have to say canon canon canon <\canon rant>

basically what the other guys said go to best buy or something and play with all the different camera until you find one you like!! also optical image stabilization makes a BIG difference so go play find what you like

but canon really is better:D
 
I would say Sony. Depending on how compact you want they have some very nice models that work great. If you want to stick with Canon or Nikon then I would have to say Canon.
 
What are you looking for in a P/S camera?

how much "zoom" (focal lenth)
MP?
Manuel control options...

I think the best P/S camera out there is a FZ30, but its hardly compact with the 12x lens.I think if you want a pocket size job nikon coolpics are the way to go.

once you go DSLR all Point and shoot cameras are utter crap... thats why a few of the replays in here are the way they are...
