Best Camera options < R2000?
This is me posting a Question without doing much searching - A bit in a hurry tonight
Just wanted to hear what digital camera you guys would suggest what falls in the <R2000 price bracket?
Thx!

Those pics were with a Pentax K100D Super, which now enjoys the undivided attention of my old man. I shoot with a Canon 40D.Originally Posted by ld13
Sorry I can't really comment on sub R2000 P&S cameras. The one I have is way over that, and the ones I take interest in are generally on the higher end of the spectrum. I have heard good things about the Canons though, and my sis has a Sony Cybershot DSC-W55 which also produces very nice pictures and (I think) is much cheaper.
What I will tell you, is if you find an older model, but higher end 6MP camera, and a newer, lower-end 10MP, for the same price, the older one will probably take better pictures. My older Sony DSC-S40 4MP definitely produces (resolution aside) better results than my 8MP DSC-T100 in low light.

The Canon Powershot A590 IS should fall within your price range.

Not a fan of the form factor - I prefer my P&S to be a bit more compact so I can just slip it into my pocket.

Well, it is better than nothing in those "ZOMW! Would you look at that!!"-situations. Although after taking them you see you just wasted your time.lol - dont get me started on cellphone 'cameras'.
I/We just need a camera that would take OK pictures - Just a bit above the average P&S would be preferred. Also my brother is having their "Matriek Afskeid" soon, so this looks like the best time to get a 'proper-ish' camera.
My dad is liking this S700 at the moment though. @R1700 it looks like a good buy. Dunno
