i want to buy a digital camera for my upcoming honeymoon and my old camera is pretty much shot.

My price range is in the $150 - $250 range, and I would like something that is compact, that takes sharp pics, and has a quick shooting speed.

I was looking around on newegg.com and I saw some ok looking ones like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830120148

I also checked out Best Buy and the Canon digital elph sd750 looked cool. But I'd like to get some feedback before I make a decision.

Any ideas?

you know, your marrying the girl of your dreams restores my faith in love developing over time, and not that quick meaningless emotion found so frequently today. I am very happy for you.

(wow, where did that comment come from?)

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

dude totally break that stuff up. come on. either she's worth it or she's not.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

thats what i'm talking about!

so i ended up ordering the sd1000, i checked out all of your suggestions and there were some slightly better cameras out there, but the dimensions of this one was the kicker for me. it's really small, and still is a good camera. I got a combo deal on newegg where they threw in an 1 gig SD card, travel case, and other stuff. and i also got a high speed 2 gig sd card. I'll let you know how it goes.

take some pics and post 'em!

so i got my canon digital elph sd1000, i love it! very small and compact, big view screen, sharp pictures, very fast speed. Its great!! i got a 1gig card with it for free, but i also ordered a high speed 2 gig card and a better battery, which is nice because now i have an extra memory card and battery. I'll post some pics soon

this is what we have:

I love it because it has the quick shooting speed, and the pictures are really nice and clear. And it's little and compact. It says it's on sale right now too.

superhero superheroOG 2004 ·

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder ·

kaui... we had the option of going to each for a week but we decided to just stay in kaui for 2 weeks and just chill there. can't wait

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

kauai is DEF a better choice than maui! seriously, you're not going to want to come home. it gives you a little taste of what paradise might be like

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 ·

I've never had a problem with my Canon. I have the Canon Powershot. I bought in 2003 before leaving for London & since then they've come out with better quality of course, and eventually I'd like to get one with more Megapixels.. but until I can do that.. the Canon Powershot has been great to me & it's 4 years old, so great longevity. Also, has ease of use.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 ·

yeah i had the same and loved that camera. cannon's are pretty good. my latest one, i purchased a kodak about a year ago, the sales guy was raving about it and yeah i HAAAATE IT

Looks like a quality camera.

Engadget seems to like it, as well. They've got some links to reviews.
