Casio S500 vs Canon SD 400 vs Canon SD 500

[m_kostlin]

What is everyone?s opinion of these 3 cameras? I like the canons but have heard way too many stories of LCD screen breaking, also the SD 400 (IXUS 50) has a plastic battery flap which seams VERY crap.

The Casio is nice, thin, fast and large LCD but not sure how good it is. It has far fewer pixels on the LCD screen than the canons and I?m not sure if the picture covers the whole LCD.

Im looking for a small, good camera with good flash, large LCD that is also good quality, movie s (MPEG 4 pref.)

Your opinions?

The SONY DSC T7 has the top of the line pixel density for it's LCD. It's also one of the smallest ultra slim compact digital camera.

It's 2.5 inches HYBRID TFT LCD has 230K pixels in it:eek:
It's even higher in resolution that the Nokia N90's screen (Which is already above QVGA level).

The LCD also have an anti-glare coating for enchanced clarity outdoors:up:

The camera is 5.0 mega-pixel with an internal(Non protruding) optical zooming facility:eek:

I looked at that but is seem strange that some of the functions are on the left and some on the right, also the flash seems poor? And I think I heard that is does not allow for manual use at all. Am I correct?

They all (except the Sony) are quite large, in relation to the sony or casio, either thick or wide. but otherwise they look good!

i have the SD500 and its by no means large...especially for 7 megapixels. i like it, pictures are sharp, and my lcd is fine (even though i carry it im my backpack with no case). its a nice camera, canon is reliable. i say go for it.
