Do you like it?

 

I own a much older Canon 600, I would not mind having the S100, but I am holding out for the new Sony that stores to the mini cdr disk.... of course it is twice the price of the S100!

 

I haven't heard about the sony, but I love the size of the s100.
It's the size of a credit card! (well a bit thicker of course)
It can pass for a spy cam?

 

I have the Sony Cybershot DSC-S70 and I think that it's fantastic!

It does 3.3 megapixels plus MPEG movies up to 60 seconds. It's Carl Zeiss lens is the best lens available on a digital camera.

We recently went on vacation and on two 64 MB memory sticks, we took 125 pictures with the camera set on 1600X1200, the second highest setting.

 

I have looked at the S100. It is small.
But I have been leaning towards the Ricoh RDC-7. It fits in your shirt pocket.
The screen flips up and rotates. Shoots 3.3 mp or even 7 with software. It will shoot avi's depending on the size of the flash card(i.e. 64meg = 5.5 mins) and buy.com has it for $599. But I am still looking.

 

Yep, I've got the s100 and I love it. It's my 3rd digital cam and the first that really satisfies the reasons I wanted a dcam in the first place. Of course, digital pictures are free, so you want to take more pictures than you otherwise would. Well, the S100 is small enough to carry anywhere, so I just always have it in my computer bag with me. I find I take pictures of stuff all the time, where I *never* used to, even on vacation, cause I hated lugging a camera around.

There are cams with greater res. (2.1 MP for the s100), better zooms, etc. But Until a smaller camera with a bigger zoom and greater MP comes along, the S100 is it for me (besides, do you *really* need to post ultra-hirez pics on the web?).

 

I have the DSC 505V which has the same specs but a bigger lens, freaky looks but no viewfinder (LCD only).

.

Absolutely brilliant BTW.

 

Here's another thumbs up for the DSC S70. Small, great images and user-friendly. The only downside compared to the Nikon products is that writing the image to memory is a little slow.

And the best thing is that an underwater housing is available for it! ... I hope that I never need one while driving, though .

 

Under water housing?
More info please???!?!?!?!

S100's housing is only good for 3 feet!
You might as well forget about it!

 

Hey FP,
I hope that you didn't get TOO excited. I wouldn't even want to SPLASH water on one of these camers! The underwater housing is produced by Ikelite and is rated to sport diving limits (130 feet). The polycarbonate housing and associated bits retails for $950, so it's not for the casual user. Plus, it works best with an add-on strobe.
