imi Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hey Guys and girls. I'm looking for a nice pocket sized compact point to shoot camera for my GF. Quality of pics and ease of use are most important, good build and looks are important too. Any suggestions? Good sites to read up on. Would like to buy it later on today. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 The Panasonic seems to be a really nice camera. A bit too big for her liking. Any suggestions on a smaller more compact camera. Any comments on the Canon Ixus 80? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 That panasonic is a decent one then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any comments on the Canon Ixus 80? http://www.cameras.co.uk/camera-reviews/pocket-sized.cfm?featuresort=total I've had IXUS cameras in the past and always been impressed with the build quality and photos they produce, their only limitation tends to be with the limited optical zoom but they could have improved since I last looked. If size is a concern the Sony DSC T77 might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
