Hi. I need to buy a compact camera urgently (by 23rd).
By compact I mean something that would fit in a coat pocket (not necessarily a jeans pocket). I had a Nikon Coolpix S6 before and that is the kind of size I'm looking for.
Now, I already have a Canon Powershot SX 100 IS and quite happy with its performance so I was considering Canon Powershot A3100 IS which looks sleek enough. A dealer at NP has quoted Rs.9,200/- for it, but he suggested the the most compact camera ever released by Canon is IXUS 100IS, which is for Rs.11,800/-.
Now, I'm kinda confused. Is IXUS worth it? From some sample pictures I saw on the net, I was not really impressed. Basically, is the trade-off between size and quality worth it? I have a Nokia N95 and some of the pics from the IXUS were no better than my Nokia. I know, I'm tending to answer my own question but personal suggestions would be very helpful.
My budget is around Rs.10,000/- (flexible slightly) and I'm open to non-Canon cameras.
Come on guys...some help .. any help:huh:
