I went with the Canon ELPH 190.I almost went with the 180 as I didn't think I'd use the wi-fi and having the extra zoom doesn't seem to come into play for my purpose.Buy my wife, who is a bit more attracted to shiny technology, pointed out some of the potential of the wi-fi.
Thanks guys.I went with the Canon ELPH 190.I almost went with the 180 as I didn't think I'd use the wi-fi and having the extra zoom doesn't seem to come into play for my purpose.Buy my wife, who is a bit more attracted to shiny technology, pointed out some of the potential of the wi-fi.@Achim...glad you mentioned that about video. It reminded me of similar issues in the past when I was doing video. I feel better about my choice.
Love Canons. I have had many of their older models, and still have a Powershot 450?, which uses regular AA batteries so I don't have to worry about having a charger. If you are into time lapse photography or just like mucking about with photography and digital circuits, the control logic for all Canon cameras is reversibly hackable (i.e. does not void the warranty) - http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDKThis can open up a lot of trickery that your camera can do, or just create another rabbit hole to go down I have also broken a lot of digital cameras over the years (I'm rough on tools, I guess), and so bought a water/shock/freeze resistant camera that is my everyday camera (took some nice snorkelling pictures with it, and some video of my youngest son and self swimming with some sea turtles). That is a Pentax/Ricoh WG-30. Good camera, and it's survived a lot of abuse.If I was in the market today, I would look at the Canon Powershot D10.Oh, and yes, I always shop cameras that are about 5 years old or so, and thus have a fairly large number of reviews, and typically lower prices than new ones.
My biggest source of frustration has been product people who think that by moving or changing things they've 'created' something new and necessary, when in fact all they've done is bullshit the boss into giving them a raise.Change is NOT progress!!! Pete
