Today I finally gave in and purchased a new point and shoot camera.
I picked up the Canon Elph SD780is in matte black (you're goddamn right its matte black, good job Canon), but they also make a red (it's pretty cool too), gold and silver version for everyone else. It's a 12.1MP with 3x optical zoom and a 2.5 inch lcd (even a silly eye finder if you fancy it). Oh and it shoots HD video..
The thing that surprised me the most when I finally went to Henry's was the size of the camera. It was literally the same size as my old camera, probably even smaller because it's thinner.
To put it in perspective I got the Elph SD10 for christmas in 03, its only 4MP but it's been my camera ever since and I absolutely love it. To date its taken over 15GB of photos, and those are just the ones that I kept- something in the order of 8000 images! I'm just starting to imagine the space that my new camera is going to take up over the next few years!
Check out these photos of both cameras side by side, excuse the grain the photos were taken with my iphone..
