I was just browsing through this thread and I just wanted to comment on how amazing everyone's photos are!
I also have a question, I am not very knowledgeable about cameras, but would like to get a new one for my upcoming birthday. I currently have a point and shoot Sony Cybershot which I got in 2007, and am looking to get something better. I am curious what your opinions are for a relatively inexpensive ($200-$300) p&s camera? Mainly will be using this camera for Disney trips!
Thank you in advance if anybody may have suggestions
Photographically, the Canon s95 is probably the best camera in that price range.
I had a Sony W7 from that era, and upgraded to the HX30 (same camera as the HX20 + wifi). I would of preferred staying under $300 but I don't want to regret not spending that extra $70 and regretting a cheaper camera. The HX is a lot better overall than my old camera.
But I went for a "travel zoom" camera because greater zoom and HD video were important factors to me. The Panasonic TZ30 and Canon SX260 are other top cameras in the category. There is also a slightly more affordable HX10 with "only" a 16x zoom but is the same photo quality.
Here is my HX30 trip report:
