Need to get a compact very sharpish, ie next 24 hours. Selected Sony DSC T100 Is this a good bet? Or anything else out there worth considering. Oh and reason for new point and press is that for some reason all my memory cards for my old cyber shot have packed up and i cant get replacements. Could they have got screwed through airport security?? Even largest only get 3 pics on them. Know its sticks and not camera as he same applies to 2 other cameras.


Cheers Di xx

AFAIK xD is the only type of memory that may be affected by airport security.

As for the T100, I tend to recommend against cameras that have those tiny lenses, mainly due to noise issues. Perhaps a W55? Unless that's too big.

As I recall the Canon cameras have some of the best lenses around, they use aspherical lenses that will give you sharp focus to the very edge of the frame where most other lenses will suffer from vignetting. After Canon I'm very impressed with the image processing performed on much of the HP range.

Out of interest - why can't you get replacements for your existing memory cards? Jessops should see you right albeit not at the cheapest price.

Agreed. Though I'm not too familiar with the current Canon P&S lineup...

Me either but if the Ixus range has maintained its quality for the last 4 years, you can't go wrong.
