Trying to decide between these cameras. - Hobby Lobby

Shaky · 10-04-2009, 09:05 AM

I have a Nikon D40 which I LOVE but I'm looking for something compact and slim I can just put in my purse and keep there.
So I've been searching around and I'm down to this 3.
Any suggestions?
This is what I'm looking for:
Slim
Good zoom and MP
Doesn't take long to recharge in between pics.
Great quality of pictures.

This are my options right now: (You can click to see full specifications)
Wish this one had better zoom but I owned an older model and loved it but it broke.

Canon Powershot A1100

Nikon Coolpix S630

Olympus Stylus 7010

I have the nikon coolpics and I don't like it. The pictures it takes are horrible. Or maybe it's operator error. But I wouldn't recommend it.

I have the coolpic S630 and I love it. I get great pictures, and its easy to use! We have recorded videos and everything with it. Even the sound was good!

Is it the same model? I tried it at the store and thought the picture quality was pretty clear.

I think the only thing I didn't like was how short of videos it takes if I'm not mistaking the camera right?

I had an older version of the Canon Powershot and it was awesome. DB has the newer version.. also awesome. Now I only buy Canon cameras, so I'm gonna vote for that one. I know that Canon also makes a slimmer one too, if that is important to you. They make great quality cameras that take great pictures!

Yes the Camera.. I can do up to two hours of video, but i have a huge SD card. I know that we have one video that is 10min long.

Canon!!!

From the reviews I see online, the Coolpix struggles in video mode...

Shaky · 10-04-2009, 12:55 PM

Ohh I'm thinking maybe at the store it only allowed me to do like a 17 seconds video because of the memory it had at that moment! I thought that was the max video time I could do!
Thanks for pointing it out!
