i have a cannon powershot s200. i've actually been fairly happy with it in most repsects, but my girlfriend's camera, the nikon coolpix 3100, seems to always have much better colors than my camera. in fact, all the time when we both take photos of the same thing, her photos come out much more bright and colorful.
recently, i've been thinking of upgrading my camera to a 5 megapixel. my first instinct was to buy a nikon since i've always really like the photos from my girlfriend's camera... but just because the nikon photos are better for the 2 megapixel cameras, doesnt necesarily mean that the same holds true for the 5 megapixel versions. so, does anyone out there have experience w/ both the nikon and canon for 5 megapixels? i definitely am looking for acompact or ultracompact camera. adding to my dilemna is that i've read that some of the canon cameras have some manual features for focusing etc, but i think the nikons dont. anyways, any advice would be appreciated. or, if you have another 5 megapixel camera toi recommend, that would be cool too.
thanks
