I've been wanting to buy a digi cam for myself since I have always used my phones' embedded digital cameras. Now I've short-listed 3 cameras from 3 different brands:
Panasonic's Lumix DMC FX 150
Sony's Cybershot DSC T700
Canon's Digital IXUS 980 IS
The 3 of them are awesome cameras!! Especially the Canon! Though I'm still confused. I'm looking for ease-of-use, which both the Sony and the Panasonic have, yet I'm looking for slightly more control of photo shoot such as shutter speed and other aspects, which the Canon has.
I'm also looking for a camera which I can use at parties, events, concerts, gigs...etc. The video feature has to be good too! I noticed that in the Canon, you can't zoom while you're shooting video. Which sucks....
Another thing I'm interested in is the ability to have a clear sound while recording video in a gig. The best video recording I have heard to date comes from the Sony Cybershot series. No sound distortion or whatever.
I think the Panasonic Lumix has the same thing.
What do you guys and girls think?
Would appreciate some opinions about this since I'm making my purchase very soon.
Don't worry about the prices. They're somewhat similar
Thanks
