Point & shoot with good movie mode - pinkoos - 10-12-2006 Hi, My brother-in-law is looking for a new point and shoot camera...maybe 5 to 6 megapixels that has a good 640 x 480 movie mode. He basically wants this camera to do his still pics and video as well. Anybody know of any good ones out there? Thanks. Re: Point & shoot with good movie mode - freescotland - 10-12-2006 how much does he want to spend?

The Canon S3-IS is said to have a very good movie mode and its zoom range is more videocam-like (plus it works WHILE shooting). I ordered the ELPH 800-IS last night which also has a nice movie capability and lets you zoom while shooting, I'll let you know how it works out. Re: Point & shoot with good movie mode - pinkoos - 10-12-2006 His budget is about $300 tops. Compact is preferable since it's more likely that they will use it if it's something my sister-in-law can just throw in her purse when she takes their girls out, etc. Zoom is not so important. I guess the standard 3x zoom would be fine, though if he ends up getting a bit higher zoom, than image stabilization would be a must. Thanks. |
