Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at point and shoot cameras?
Did you have questions about any in particular today?
I have a canon powershot a3400is that I am looking to replace.
I don't like the lag between button push and it taking the picture and the auto settings don't perform well and leave a lot of blurry pictures
I am also spoiled by having a Nikon D90 but want something small like the canon one but that functions well.
looking to spend about $150 or less and prefer something with a rechargeable battery.
Unfortunately point and shoot cameras always have a little bit of a delay between when the button is pushed and the photo is taken
I know, but this one I have is ridiculous. It also can't seem to chose the correct settings in auto mode.
That's also pretty common of point and shoots unfortunately. Some of the higher quality ones are more dependable, but those run around $600+
But I'll bring a few options up for you
These are two good options here
How is the Nikon S33? I've read mixed reviews on that one....
It's ok. But it will have that delay from when you press the shutter to when the photo is taken
The reasoning behind that is because the camera will only take photos once it has achieved focus
And point and shoot cameras take a little longer to autofocus
The delay I am talking about is after I've already focused the camera by holding the button at the half-way point, then when I press to snap the picture it frequently takes another 2-3 seconds. Plenty of time to miss a good shot with little kids.
Does the Nikon S33 actually have a cover that closes over the lens or is it open all the time?
It's open all of the time
I'd prefer something that closes to cover and protect the lens.
Then I'd recommend the other two that I brought up here
The Canon ELPH 170 or the Sony W830
Do you have questions about either of those cameras?
