which cam is a good ps?

[NorthernLights]

Hi,

Want to buy a small ps digital cam for my wife. I think for 4R, 2MP is sufficient. It would be good also when we need to be light...inconvenient to bring E20 with BLP 32 all the time.

You know lah...most girls want a small sleek looking camera.

My budget around $400.

Any recommendations? Looking at Fujifilm, Canon and Olympus...

Thanks!

How about an ixus v2 or a40?

Dear Kei,

Would you recommend A60? 2 MP but has got Digic, manual controls...

Thanks

a60 yup, but will exceed your budget

A60 is not exactly a sleek looking camera.

I find most girls who are into sleek looking camera like the Fujifilm models more due to the design aspect.

My sister got herself a Fujifilm A303 at $499, while it is above the $400 budget, it's a 3MP camera and it's design is appealing to most female users. It's power source is 2 'AA' which is cheap and easy to find.

Though it's lacking in manual controls compared to a A60 or A70, which should not be a problem if the user is only concern with Point and Shoot.
