I need your thoughts and ideas

[Grandpaw]

To start with I have had two SLR Nikon F's with FTN meters on them for the last 35 years with assorted lens. About 3 years ago I purchased my first digital camera a Kodak DC4800.

Now I am looking to purchase a new digital and I am considering the Kodak P850 or the P880 for my new camera. I will be using it for vacations and pictures of my grandson. I will list some of the things that I would like in a camera below and then give you an address to go to to see and read about my choices.

P850 http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/news...tory_3906.html

I don't want to be carrying around extra lens. I want everything in one camera.
Wide angle is more important to me that telephoto.
Video with sound is important.
Use in low light is also important
Quality pictures of course
Fast operation of picture taking

I would like opinions on these cameras and any simular cameras you may suggest.Thanks Jeff

From that links, the 880 has 24mm in wide angle, while the 850 has 36mm, thus, the 880 has a wider lense. In the other hand, the 880 has 124mm vs 432(!)mm on the 850, which also has image stabilization.
The 880 is capable of VGA quality (this normally means 640x480) video in 30 fps, while the 850 says nothing about resolution, but also 30 fps.
None of the document mention sound, lens quality, or exact numbers on frame-to-frame speed.
I suggest you the more professional sites www.photographyreview.com, www.fredmiranda.com and www.dpreview.com, the 2 links you pasted looks like manufacturer advertising.
