Camera Talk

In light of things I'm looking for in my next camera, I'm considering the following:

Canon S100
  • Highest ISO (6400)
  • 24-120 mm
  • F2.0
  • Macro 3 cm
  • Best image quality
  • Full manual controls
  • 240fps movie mode
  • Very compact for so many features
  • Expensive

Canon Ixus 220 HS
  • High ISO (3200)
  • Macro mode
  • Small, light
  • 240fps movie mode
  • Only $269! Was $300+ at the previous computer show.
I would have bought the 220 if I knew it had high speed movie mode at the IT Show. They don't mention it in any of the advertisements!

Casio Exilim ZR200
  • Beats the Ixus 220 HS in: zoom range, battery life, speed, high speed movie 
  • Matches it in ISO and macro mode
  • 24-300 mm
  • F3.0
  • Macro 1 cm
  • High speed up to 1000 fps, higher resolution than S100 and 220 at 240fps
  • $500
  • Only released in Jan 2012! At the previous computer show, the ZR100 was going for $500.
