As the title says. My GF lost my digital camera. Either she left her doors unlocked and it was stolen, or she just plain lost it.

In any case, I need something DECENT. My last camera, a Sony T5 was RIDICULOUSLY good for the price paid. The Macro shots it produced were incredible. And the fact that it was only 5MP was astounding for the quality of pictures it took.

For examples, the pictures in my amp review thread (link found in my sig) are examples of un p-shopped straight from the camera, just resized.....

Anything out there that's that cheap and that good?

Canon A570IS, going for ~$180 here in Canada.
I've had mine for 6 months now, great value and performance.

Any other suggestions?

Another Sony T5?

I hear the T30 or T9 is a good choice too, but no practical experience with me, so... I like my Sony W5, it's the fatter version of the T5.

What is cheap? I also like the Canon A series.

I like the canons as well. Check out the ixus range if you want to keep it small. The ixus 70 is a realll nice one. Don't know if you use the same modelnumbers as in europe (well, I know you don't but take a look).
The a-series (some of them) have more options like adjusting aperture and shutterspeed manually. Could be nice for you maybe.
Better than any sony imo. Sony uses his flash at a shutterspeed of 1/30 or 1/40 which gives you a larger risk at images that are unsharp because of movement. Image stabilizer partially won't fix that.
Just for the record..Megapixel doesn't say anything about the qual, it just gives you an impression of how large you can print an image.

fuji f30 or f31. best low-light camera in its price range. good macro mode. not a fan of sonys, to be honest...if you don't want a fuji, i'd go with the canons as well.

Another Sony would be wise if you happen to have memory sticks left over from the T5 - I don't think there's any other brand cameras that use them.

performance > size

canon A series (whichever one is in your budget)

size > performance
(isnt a huge changeover btw)

Canon Elph (SD) series... the best compacts out there. Dont break Always great images. Mine has been through a war zone....still functions like its brand new. Most pros (like me) will recommend elphs as great pocket cams. Yes they have a macro mode.

KODAK EASYSHARE Z712 IS Zoom Digital Camera

I'd go with a fuji finepix. The quality easily rivals canons and sony's. Canon's tend to be more expensive, and I can't stand the delay on the shutter of some sony's.

Slickdeals.net

Canon SD800IS 7.1MP $199.

 

[tennisplyr3]

well, what do you consider "cheap"? what is your price range? i think newegg was selling the pretty popular SD850 online for $240.

Instead of starting my own thread, I'll ask here. Anyone here have the A570 IS?

I too am looking for a new Cam. I found this site and thought others here would like to read it. Recommended Cameras . He recommends Canon A560, it goes for about $130 on B&H Photo-Video. But I am thinking of getting the A570 IS , its the same as the A560 but with Image Stabilization and more Shooting Modes.

Man, wasn't that long ago we got an Olympus C-50Z for like 850USD. 5 megapixels was so ground breaking at the time o.O
