Looking to buy a new digital camera. The most important thing to me is image quality. So far, it's a toss up between the Canon Powershot SD700, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2, and the Sony Cyber-shot T-50. The Canon b/c I've heard that it's the best, and Sony b/c it's touch screen. I don't like how the mode dial on the Canon is so awkard and flimsy. Help?! =)

Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. The A640 appears quite similar and shares the "600" series numbering, so I guess it's just another upgraded version of the now-classic A620. It looks pretty much the same except for baing a 10 MP camera. The continuous drive is a little slower, but the files are larger, so that's no surprise. I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon A630 or A640 for myself.
With this camera, you will find the memory card is a cute little token of thanks from Canon, but not much more. Buy a 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera.

Buy a dslr. If you wish whatever to take to events and the seashore that'll have compatibility to your pocket I fully grasp the will for a P&S. I simply performed round with a Samsung NV15. It used to be first-rate and had each unmarried handbook surroundings below the solar. IDK if that makes a significant change when you consider that its no longer ready of what a DSLR can do however its a excellent digicam. Has a 5x optical zoom that is higher than so much which simplest have 3x. There are incredible zooms however the our bodies are so gigantic that you are higher off with a DSLR, I learn a few reports for the Samsung and the one court cases have been approximately evil crimson eye (because of the space of the flash from the lens) I did not have any issues with my experiment. Colors have been quality too. The in digicam slide exhibit is first-rate. It has a whole handbook surroundings so you'll gain knowledge of approximately the digicam and how one can hinder "wash out". Then perhaps you'll be able to love taking complete manage such a lot you'll be able to out develop out of it and purchase a DSLR. So yea, Samsung NV15 $a hundred and eighty involves a 2gig card at circuit town proper now. Or purchase a Leica in the event you wish to spend $four hundred. If I had $four hundred to shop for P&S that is what I might get. But I do not so I might purchase the Samsung. One thing more. If cash is not any item however you prefer the scale of a factor and shoot the smallest DSLR available on the market - Olympus E420 approximately $six hundred. Its excellent small and beats any Point and Shoot at just about the equal measurement. Hope this is helping.

I've always preferred the image quality of Canon over Sony.
