Recommendations Solicited - Need a new P&S
Posted: Mar 22, 2007 3:20 pm
Name Brand - Sony-Cannon-Olympus, etc.
Would like to stay under $250
Minimum of a 5 megapixal image size.
Want a at least a 4x zoom feature.
Need to be able to take reasonable close up(s) of stuff like flowers or small critters.
Want to be able to carry it in pockets without it being too bulky. (Like no more than 1.5 - 2 inches of "Girth.")
Although I might play with it in caves when we have slaves around, this is expected to be used as an everday camera for hiking, kayaking, camping, Christmas, etc.
What are your suggestions?
Please defend your pick. Thanks in advance!
