Travel, but also taking fun photos of family


calihoffman | Asked  over a year ago | Last response was over a year ago

Beginner photographer - going to Europe and want a good travel camera. But I also want a camera to take pictures of friends and family - want crisp, clear photos that don't turn out blurry during action shots.

Which camera do you recommend for calihoffman?

Canon SX230 HS - $199
12 MP|14x f/3.1|1/2" CMOS|3" LCD
Canon S100 - $310
12 MP|5x f/2.0|1/1.8" CMOS|3" LCD

    over a year ago Philip-Davis recommends the Canon Powershot S100

    The S100 has a faster lens and has much better light sensitivity (ISO).  So it will function much better in low light (e.g. indoors with your friends and family shots).  As for freezing action shots, you'll probably need to use the flash with either of these cameras unless you're shooting outside at midday.
