Recommend a Digicam

[antere]

Hi there. I'm helping a friend to choose a digicam. His requirements are as followed:

- Cost around $700
- Slim (Like the Casio Exlim)
- With Optical Zoom
- Good image quality

Hope you guys can help me help my friend. Thanks alot!

maybe, you can get IXUS 400 which surpassed the Exilim and also very slim

I second this recommendation. If you're looking for an 4MP ultracompact zoom, the IXUS 400 is great. It's not the lightest though. In fact, at over 200g, it's significantly heavier than the OptionS4 and Casio Exlim Z4, but its image quality is better (less CA and softness at the corners ), and it takes cheaper CF cards instead of SD cards.

Hi guys! Thanks for your recommendation. I'll tell my friend about it.

Do recommend any other cams that you have in mind as well.
