lovemylab Posted June 1, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I currently have a Nikon Coolpix 4600. I am looking for a camera that is easy to use and will be able to take good quality night time photos. So far I am considering the following: Canon A720 IS Canon SD850 IS Canon SD870 IS Panasonic FX100 Panasonic LZ10 Thoughts? Advice? If you have any other recommendations feel free to offer them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pierces Posted June 1, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I currently have a Nikon Coolpix 4600.

So far I am considering the following: Canon A720 IS Canon SD850 IS Canon SD870 IS Panasonic FX100 Panasonic LZ10 Thoughts? Advice? If you have any other recommendations feel free to offer them. Thanks. If you have read any of the similar posts, you might be expecting my vote to be for the SD870. I have an SD800 (prior model with same lens) and am a big fan. I spent 6 weeks agonizing over comparative reports and tests before deciding on it and having handled the 870 and see output from it, I have no reservations about recommending it. Here is a gallery of photos taken pretty much exclusively with the SD800, some in pretty bad light. Image quality from the 870 would be the same. http://www.pbase.com/pierce324/pacnw20074a Hope it helps. Choosing a camera these days is such a chore!;) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciara Posted June 1, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I think I have narrowed my choice down to a Canon SD870 IS or a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Any advice greatly received thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photodoodle Posted June 2, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Dave I looked at the gallery you linked above - very nice. I notice you had some pretty long exposures 1/8, 1/5. Did you use a tripod or stand very still :) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
