Point & Shoot Camera

[texascutie]

Hi, I am also comparing camera's to take on our trip in May. I wanted one with a longer zoom but small enough for a small purse or cargo pocket on my husband. I like the look of the new Canon SX230. Has anyone had any experience with the new SDHC UHS-1 cards and can they be used on any SDHC camera? From what I can tell it is such a fast card it will allow faster picture taking and video taking if your camera allows. The Canon sight is of no help! Looking for someone who has actually used the card. Help anyone?

I'm looking for one as well. We had the sd1300 last trip and had it stolen from our stroller about 3 hours into our first day at the park.

Shame, shame! On you for leaving it there.

One knock is it is a "slow" camera which I would prefer to not deal with. I need a camera that I don't have to wait 5 seconds between shots. Don't need rapid fire for action shots, but it is my experience, the more shots you can get off at once in a short time period the better. Our sd 1300 we had to seriously take a pic, wait 5-10 seconds for every thing to reset so we could take another. ?

Check for an adjustment for how long the last picture taken stays still on the viewfinder. See if you can shorten that and then see the camera lets you take multiple pictures more quickly after that.

Thanks for the info as this is the first time visiting this board and I had the same question. I bought a Canon SD1300IS and took it on our Disney Dream cruise a few weeks ago. When I got home my heart was just broken - the pics taken in low light were terrible. Outdoors is another story - the color is beautiful, but low indoor cruise ship lighting - not so good. I was replacing my SD700IS which takes far better pictures (wish I'd just brought that one with me). I noticed a significant weight difference in the two cameras - perhaps cheaper parts?

I guess I'll either return the SD1300 or give it to my kids and shell out more $$ for the S95 (or perhaps jump ship from Canon and try a Lumix). Thanks again for the recommendations.
