Cam and Cheese

I recently got to use the Canon PowerShot SD1100IS, Sony CyberShot DSC-T70 and the Nikon CoolPix S550. All three are in the $250-$300 price range of sleek and think point and shoot cameras. They have either 8MP or 10MP sensors, and they all have image stabilization in one form or another. Here's a comparison of all three to help you decide which one to get.

Here's a quick comparison of the latest three underwater cameras currently out in the market - the Olympus Stylus 850 SW and 1030 SW, and the Pentax Optio W60. This is just going to be all about the numbers as I have not been able to test out all three. It will give you a quick run down of all three for comparison.

The Stylus 850 SW is the cheaper of the two Olympus new water proof cameras. Both the 850 SW and the 1030 SW offer water proofing, shock protection, and freezing temperature protection, but the 850 SW is more than $100 cheaper. It does offer reduced protection when compared to the 1030 SW though.

The Canon PowerShot SD870IS is a wide-angled point and shoot camera with a 3.8x optical zoom, image stabilization and 3-inch LCD.
