I am in the market for a new tiny point and shoot camera to carry with me.
My main concerns and needs in the camera are: - Good Video. at least 720 res, and being able to use the optical zoom while recording. - Taking photos in low light. Low house lighting, around a camp fire, caving. etc. - Fairly fast burst modes, and little shutter delays. I record alot of video, mainly some camping and offroading adventures. I often dash mount my cameras also. I also take alot of photos of moving objects, such as the offroading. But I also find myself taking alot of shots that are indoors, with low light, or outside at night. Around a camp fire, hiking, etc. I also like taking photos suck as long exposure night shots, HDR, and other wide range photos like that. I also do alot of pana photos, I know the Sony has a builtin feature for that, and thats great if it works well. But its not a huge concern, I use a program called AutoStitch that works great for that. So, I have narrowed it down to two cameras. The Canon SD4000is, and the Sony WX5. I know that the WX5 isnt out yet, so there may not be much info on it. I have been reading WX1 reviews to get an idea of how the camera might be. So, I am looking for any advice you guys may have. What the pros and cons of each camera are, and which you think I would be most happy with. Thanks ~John |

John-
Welcome to the Forum. We're pleased that you dropped by. The Sony WX-5 still remains a complete question mark. It will take time to learn more. I had a WX-1, that I eventually sold off, but my primary complaint was it was basically a fully automatic camera that really did not allow much in the way adjustments. I surely do hope that will be addressed in the WX-5. The Canon SD-4000 is a more technically modern camera that comes much closer to the mark than the WX-1. I purchased a SD-4000, and in the end opted for the S-90. I was pleased with the SD-4000, and it did especially well with macro shots. My husband is a dedicated video fan who prefers to use his own high end video cameras. Therefore, video has not been a large priority for me. Sarah Joyce |
