Digital Camera Help!

[sudoplog]

I am trying to find a fast, inexpensive digital camera. I would like to spend under $200. When I say fast, I mean in shutter speed and amount of time it takes to store to the card before you can snap a second shot. I have a young, fast moving toddler and my current camera is too slow to keep up!

I currently have about 5gig of xD media, but would be willing to change if that's part of the problem.

Would one of these two be sufficient? Any suggestions?

You could also try bhphoto.com. The user reviews might help.

If you want fast ... go for Canon, or if you not in SA, go for Ricoh ... they're pretty big in some countries ... I got one ... if the flash is fully charged and not set to red eye reduction, the picture is taken in less then a second after I press the button. Slightly faster with no flash. But go for an Ixus 75 Canon, you can't miss out on speed with that.

Check out http://www.cameras.co.uk/html/shutter-lag-comparisons.cfm?sort=ShutterLag

You can click on the 'one photo' and 'five photos' links to sort the list. I'm in the market for one at the moment too and have looked at both these (as in tried them out in a shop). My money's on the Sony.

fast - can depend on whether you using the flash or not
