Point & Shoot Recommendations

[S T A R 3 3]

Hey guys,

Hoping I could get some recommendations on a 'point and shoot' digital camera.

I have a Canon 550D and as all SLR owners know, they don't fit too well in the pocket, and its not something I feel comfortable handling around of kids, drunk and being drunk.

IF anyone could recommend something, I would appreciate it muchly.

THanks in advance

what features do you need? full manual control, RAW, video etc?

Canon G11 (G12 is out now) is a kick ass point and shoot which offers RAW, full manual controls and has a hotshoe for off camera flash if you need. i have one and its a great little cam. maybe a bit large for a p&s cam, but the features make it worthwhile.

Oops! Didn't get any notifications.

Umm.. I really want one that doesn't want one that takes ages to process once the pic has been taken. I dont know if that is something to do with the SD card type or by a certain type of 'processing spec'.

the G11 looks abit pricey for me.. im looking for something around 250 -300? is that even possible?

Try on eBay? Might get something decent for cheap hardly used.

for close to that price you can still get some decent point and shoots with manual controls. not sure which would be best tho as ive only used the G11 and a cheap Lumix that doesnt have any manual controls.

I ended up getting a Lumix LX5.. $430ish. thanks for all your suggestions!
