Opinions on this camera

I myself, like to go with HP, or Kodak. Only because I had another unknown model and it was  very hard to get help with it because not to many people were familiar with it.  Here are 2 that look really good. I really like the second one.

i love my kodak.  i have a bigger more professional model but i wouldn't trade it.  i started out with a kodak and upgraded 5x still with the kodak brand.  ease of use and what is kodak known for?  cameras

We just got a new digital camera and I did a TON of research and taked to two friends who are professional photographers. One thing that I learned was that over a certain number of megapixels the quality of the photos is actually reduced. Think about it this way. You have a small chip where the information from the photo is compiled then it is put on to your media. That small chip only has so much room for so many pixels. Once you get into larger megapixel photos the data actually starts getting corrupted. The photos can have spots that look like compression artifacting. I was told that until technology comes up with a new way to process the info, stick with a camera 6mp or under.
 
If you want a REALLY good camera, the [linkhttp://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=11939]Canon ELPH SD450[/link] is the best small digital camera on the market today. This isn't just my opinion, but also what I was told by 3 different camera professionals who could have sold me a different, way more expensive camera. The SD450 actually takes better quality photos than the SD600. The SD 450 is on sale in-store at Office Depot (at least locally, check your stores) for $250. It is usually $300.
 
A friend of mine just bought one and took it to Disney with her Grandkids the very next day. She didn't even read the manual and came back with stunning photos, she was utterly gleeful at the ease of use (very user friendly) and quality of the photos. Feel free to look up my posts. I have posted a lot of photos taken with my ELPH.
