Cheapest Canon PowerShot SD1200IS 10 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Dark Gray)

This Camera is great...its small and powerful...I never took such good pictures at night. The flash is very powerful which sometimes makes ur face look ultra bright but I guess thats ok...

The picture quality during the day is good too and so are the number of features available. The only thing I don't like is how I have to take the battery out of the Camera every time I wanna charge it. I wish they would do something about it in the next versions.Get more detail about Canon PowerShot SD1200IS 10 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Dark Gray).

Discount Nikon Coolpix S620 12.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Sky Blue)

Whilst this camera takes fairly nice photos, it's very slow to focus. I've missed a few key photos while waiting for the camera to be ready to shoot.

Additionally, I noticed a few months after I got it that the small screws on both sides of the camera had fallen out. One day the side panel just fell off. I have yet to be able to get this fixed but I imagine that a Nikon store should be able to help.

For me, the camera is too bulky to carry around in a small purse but it takes good pictures.

Save Nikon Coolpix S560 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom with 2.7 inch LCD (Cherry Blossom)

The S560 is a full featured, easy to use small camera. The only significant problem I have found with it is that the battery will not hold a charge for very long.Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix S560 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom with 2.7 inch LCD (Cherry Blossom).

Low Price Nikon Coolpix S210 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Cool Blue)

I got this camera in December of 2008. It worked great for five months - most pictures were great, video is so-so for one of these cameras, and not really good for nighttime shots (though it is a point-and-shoot). But, five months after owning the camera, I turned it on and got a lens error. It seems that has happened to most everyone who uses this camera. It doesn't seem to matter how well you care for the camera, all of these Nikon S210s seem to get the lens error (I can't speak personally for other Nikon point-and-shoot or CoolPix models). I sent my camera to Nikon and got the lens replaced under warranty. They sent it back and about nine months later the exact same problem occurred and this time Nikon refused to fix it because it had been over six months.

The LENS ERROR appears to be inevitable so don't even bother with this camera - it is definitely not worth the trouble or expense. Nikon has good SLRs and that's what they should stick to.Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix S210 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Cool Blue).

Lowest Price Nikon Coolpix S560 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom with 2.7 inch LCD (Cool Blue)

I got an earlier version of this camera, the S550, to take to England to see crop circles. I have a Nikon D70 which I used to take, but that was a lot of weight in my luggage and hiking around the fields of Wiltshire county.
10 megapixels is almost twice the resolution of the D70 (I now have a D90) so I still came home with great photos! I also discovered that I could shoot video of the crop circle I was in by mounting the camera on the end of my walking stick, starting the camera shooting video and raising it up over my head, and once I perfected my aim, I was able to get a video panorama of the formation from about 12' up - awesome!
Anyway, good small camera, Nikon quality, high resolution, good price - is that enough for you?
BTW, I moved up to the S560 because it now has a micro-USB connector, so you don't have to use the clunky connector that came with the S550. Oh, and image stabilization, which I never pay attention to but probably helps.Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix S560 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom with 2.7 inch LCD (Cool Blue).

Nikon Coolpix S640 12.2MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD (Calm Black) Decide Now

This camera can power on and take a picture in 1 second, but if you don't take it right away you have to wait about 5 seconds. I'm happy with the camera's portability and quality, but would like it to take pictures in faster intervals (about 1-2 seconds between shots).Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix S640 12.2MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD (Calm Black).

Nikon Coolpix S640 12.2MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD (Precious Pink) Right now

The focusing is faster than the previous digital cameras that I had. With 12 megapixels the camera captures a wonderful image. The zoom is only 5X and the speed at which it zooms causes you to lose potentially great pictures because you often shoot tiny specks in a distance for any photo that involves action.Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix S640 12.2MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD (Precious Pink).
