Digital Camera

Based on the reviews at Digital Photography Review, The current leading cameras are


  • Canon S500
  • Canon S60
  • Canon A80
  • HP R707


The Canon S60 is notable in that it has a wide angle lens. However, it is bigger than the others.

The Canon A80 is a bit thicker than the other two. When you actually use the camera, the thickness is quite important since it governs how easily it fits in most pockets. The current sweetspot for thickness seems to be about 1 inch. The feature set and performance of thinner cameras begins to suffer. This was particularly evident when choosing between Canon S500's predecessor, the S400, and it's thinner rival, the Pentax Optio, which suffered from a lack of image buffering.
