Canon-S1-IS or Kodak-DX-7590 or Kodak-DX-7440

1 posts
  1. Hi Guys,

     

    I've narrowed down my reserach to 3 cameras (Canon-S1-IS, Kodak-DX-7590, Kodak-DX-7440).....I've searched on internet and these are the cons

     

    Kodak-dx-7440 : Low optical zoom (ok for me)

     

    Kodak-dx-7590 : No image stablization

     

    Canon-S1-IS : very bad Indoor/lowlight focusing, EVF freezes, comes with alkaline batteries, too small LCD, bad focusing overall

     

    Now my requirements are -

     

    1) Family events/parties (mostly outdoor night, low light, low light indoor shots),

     

    2) Sight seeing (mostly daylight shots of monuments, buildings etc, can be night shots too like of Times Square NYC),

     

    I want to use automatic settings and my top priority is to get good shots in a variety of light conditions all at some automatic (without having to fiddle around with the complex settings, although I'll learn them later on). As for the 10x zoom, I'm just considering it for fun right now, but if the cams with zoom don't perform well in low light / bright light conditions in automatic mode then I'll leave them. I'm not planning to buy a tripod or do bird watching or do wild life shooting etc, my shots will be around family events, indoors and sight seeing types mostly.

     

    Please suggest which one of the above 3 cams would be the best for these requirements.

     

    Thanks in advance.
