I'm thinking about a new point and shoot camera. I'm looking for one with quick recovery to take the next shot. I have a Canon PowerShot and love it but I'm willing to explore other options. Anyone have any recommendataions?   Thanks

I have a great Nikon point and shoot that has the touch screen back, and I love it.  It does video too - I bought it a couple years ago.  I'd have to find it in my daughter's room to tell you exactly which model it is - but I can find it if you'd like.  I have recently taken a few giant leaps into photography and now have an amazing Nikon D300 that I have picked up on CraigsList and I took a couple photography classes too.  Once I started scrapbooking, I really got more serious about getting better photos to work with.

 

Not sure if that helps at all, so let me know if you want more info!

Thanks Lisa J. I can find the information. My husband has the DSLR (needs a repair) and I love my missing camera -- Canon PowerShot from a few years ago. I definitely want one that does video. I do find that I want to take better photos too.  One of these days I'll learn how to get a good depth of field with a Point n shoot. Thanks again!!

I have a Sony Cybershot Point and shoot.  It takes great pictures, but is much slower than the Nikon SLR that I am used to.....I like the cybershot because I can take it easily in my pocket to places that are difficult to carry my camera around.  When my family goes on a trip, I use the SLR and my husband takes the Sony Cybershot....that way if we end up being at different end of a playground or a ride we are both able to get pics to remember the event.... You should be able to find a really nice one this time of year for a great price!  Good luck!
