In a delilma

[betsyangel]

I haven't been on here for awhile because I hate my camera that I have. I hope that I can get some positive feedback.

I am looking at purchasing a new digital camera and I am torn between 2.

I have been looking at the Nikon coolpix L110 but then when I looked on here the #2 camera on this list is the Canon Powershot SD1300IS.
HELP!!!
I don't know what brand I should look at.
Thanks for your help and thoughts.

Not sure what a 'delima' is, but I hope you get out (especially if it's a bad thing). :P


As for those two cameras, they're essentially the same except the Nikon costs ~50USD more and gives you a LOT more zoom and has manual focus abilities, but at the cost of being slightly slower at the wide end (but a lot faster at the tele ends, especially when you factor in the zoom range differences).

Also, the Nikon will give you 13 fps opposed to 0.9fps from the Canon and has a small amount of internal storage (43MB).

There is, however, one major downside on the Nikon: it takes AA batteries, so you'll want rechargable batteries or you'll be making quite a few trips to the store.

One last thing to consider: the Nikon is pretty heavy compared to the Canon (400g vs. 140g) and a good deal bigger (109x74x78mm vs. 91x56x22mm) and is, in those regards, a 'transition' camera to the world of dSLRs.
