b_n_f Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I am looking for a very small digital camera for my woman. (Think Contax SL3000/Minolta X size...) It is something that will be with her a lot and since I am at her side, it needs to fulfill a lot of purposes. Like: Very small, non-protruding lens - Extremely fast start up - Prefer continuous shooting 'til card is full - Very short span between shots - Durable If it can be weatherproof, that would be nice too. Price is really not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbizarro Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 There must be dozens that fulfil your requirements. Just search the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_n_f Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 You are, of course, correct. I was hoping for some real recommendations, so that I don't need to go through dozens of reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_dyson3 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Maybe try this if you haven't already: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.asp Personally, I went for a Canon Ixus, but of course your requirements might/will be different to mine..... Cheers, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_david Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Sounds like the Pentax Optio WPi would be a good fit. Nikon, Sony and Fuji also make slim camera with lenses that don't protrude. If your willing to give up the non-protruding lens requirement there are a lot more choices that will give better results. I'll be getting a Fuji F30.

phule Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 <<You are, of course, correct. I was hoping for some real recommendations, so that I don't need to go through dozens of reviews.>> But all you will get are dozens of people recommending their cameras and each person contradicting the last. My needs are not your needs. You are better of doing the research, getting a list of candidates, and /then/ looking at personal and professional reviews.

chrisbrewster Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I disagree with the rather disagreeable responses so far. Just having requirements and reading reviews still lets some important concepts slip through the cracks. I've just been through this process and benefited from other people's knowledge and suggestions. The DCRP site has a forum just for choosing a camera and it's useful. Try to summarize your main requirements in the subject line. Here's the link: http://www.dcresource.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
