what camera to get?

[paythemanning]

Hey guys im new to the forums.. I am 19 years old and am in need of a camera i would like a compact camera that takes nice pictures and is around 200 oh and it would be nice if it was stylish too.. Ive been doing some research and have foud that the canon sd750 looks to be the best value. Are there any others to consider? also i have read that a newer model should be coming out soon, should i wait it out for the new model? im a beginner and would like to hear what you guys think. I will be using this camera mainly for vacations, nothing too involve but thats not to say i can skimp on picture quality. thanks guys

You can't go wrong with a Canon. There a several of them in my house. They are nice rugged cameras. If you are mainly going for 4x6 prints any of them will do.

Plenty of pro and user reviews on this site too. Also, check the coverage of the 2008 PMA show which is the big annual trade show that happened about a month ago in Las Vegas.

clors not that important to me id rather have a smaller camera, but..i would like to stay away from pink cameras and another question is when do you guys think canon will release a new SD750?

I have a Canon FTb. Its probly much larger then you were thinking. It is roughly 2 lbs and a manual but it was bought new in 1971, has been droped and messed with by an 8 yr/old been threw gales on the great lakes, the top of Pikes Peak and everything in between, and even sat for 20 years and it still works great. I can also recomend an Olympus d-540 zoom, this camera has been to Iraq twice and been threw everything that entails and also works like a dream its also light, compact and easy to get a great picture with. You didnt specify if you wanted manual.

Try any camera before you purchase. If you do water sports, sailing, etc purchase at lest a weather prof or a water resistant(prof) camera. Just remember that shutter delay is a problem with most PS cameras.
