Compacts seem to get very very very little mileage here but since I finally got one, thought I will check to see if anyone has one.
Agonised over the Sony W120 (with stablised lens) or Pentax S10. Eventually settled for the S10 because of its smaller size and bigger CCD. Unfortunately, the bigger CCD did not translate into less noisy images. To be fair, I have been "spoilt" by the K200D, so now its not just the S10 but most PnS seemed noisy to me! ;p
In anycase, this one presented a good balance of price, size and performance.
Too bad I missed the deal during the last day of Comex, otherwise would have paid $60 lesser!
I'm not good with photos like creampuff and his pentax E40, so presenting some sample shots here as is:
Bought from Best Vivocity..offer still on till end Sep !
