OK, so my old cam broke and im about ready for a new one... i DO know some things i want on this one so if u all could give me some info or opinions that'd be great...
I want somethin:
- 5.0mp or more (which is pretty much a given)
- manual settings, shutter, iso, apeture(sp?) etc
- PREFERABLY Lithium battery, not AA's
- 10x or 12x optical zoom
What i've come up with are the Kodak Z612 and the Canon S2 or S3 IS, the kodak seems good with the battery, but the canon uses stupid AA's but i think has better manual settings...
I wanna keep it under 300 so if u pro's can tell me which will ultimately look better and the settings more customizable, we'll go from there...
the Kodak has an aperture range of (F2.8 - F4.8) and the S2 has a range of (F2.7 - F3.5 / F8)... what exactly is that sayin and is that somethin i'd want?
I wanna take some close-ups as well as sunsets and landscapes... i'm leanin toward the kodak due to bigger screen, internal mem. and battery
