We booked our trip to Disney and we're thinking our six year old point and shoot isn't going to get the job done on this one.
So...who has one for trade and/or trade & sale?
Our camera right now is a Canon PowerShot SX100 IS
We don't have any complaints, but it seems to be mildly pixelated when we want to enlarge a photo.
I like having various settings, but I also prefer some point and shoot. We need something that will snap a bunch of photos quickly and we need to be able to zoom in. I also like Macro shooting, but that's just me trying to find fun stuff in small places (insert **** joke here I suppose! LOL)
I just figured someone who upgrades often may have what we're looking for.

You doing World or Land?
Wish I could help ya out here but I already sent my backup camera to my old man.

Sams club has several Nikon or Cannon with extra lenses priced under a grand

at 240 its a stellar deal. I also take fast shots with it while I longboard. It always takes awesome pics without the flash for a more natural photo rather than washed out with a flash. Hope it helps!

Funny because I went there after I posted the thread and it suggested (based on their quiz of usage) that I only need a point & shoot plus "extras".
Makes me feel better only because I wasn't ready to drop $1k on a camera my kids might drop handing it to me!
Anyone have a good reason to NOT get it??
I'm leaning towards this one, mostly because ours has worked faithfully for over 6 years - Canon PowerShot SX260 HS

M, we have that same camera. It's great. Takes great photos and video. The megapixel is more than enough plus the digital / optical zoom will help you eliminate your grainy photo problems

Nice. Thanks for the feedback.
How old is she?
Why not just wait until it is time to leave- for maximum impact?
You don't want to be carrying a big 35mm-style digital all day throughout Disney. You'll get tired of carrying the bulk and extra weight. If you're looking for something resistant to the weather (as it will rain while you are there) look at Nilon's CoolPix AW100 Waterproof digital camera.
Canon PowerShot SX260 HS
• Is that a plastic lense????
• Do you really need a GPS tracker with Maps on a camera???
In that price range look at Nikon's Coolpix S8200, S9300 or Coolpix P310
great camera for the price!
Just my 2 cents. (coming from a guy who bought his wife the cannon rebel.)
