canon sd300 noise..?

[gltyrian]

i just noticed that when i use the zoom on my canon sd300, it makes a zzz zzz kinda clack (not referring to the regular hum.. but right after the camera is done moving its lens..

does anybody else have this? i'm trying to figure out if it might be a defect on my camera or maybe soemthing in general with canons or the sd300, etc..

thanks for the feedback guys,

siao

i am very interested in this camera (replacement for my broken casio ex-z40)

oh and if people with SD200, 400, and 500 could post too . . . that'd be great

it makes the noise right after it is done focusing.. so u got the humm while ur adjusting the zoom..and then right after.. it kinda goes zzztt zztt almost like those old (dot matrix?) printers..


the camera itself is great.. plenty of options, the size is quite nice (about the size of a credit card literally, maybe just a half cm smaller or so), thickness is about a deck of cards... it feels very sturdy, the lcd is also nice too..

I have the SD200 and I get no such noise.

hmm, anybody else with the camera?

i sell the camera all day at best buy and the noise is nothing new, all the cameras have it, its no big deal

awesome camera though, best quality small camera you can buy...recommend the sd300 over the 200 for the extra megapixel

oh, nice.. thanks for the feedback snakexor!

I've played with about 5 each of the SD200 & SD300 (including my own SD200) The noise is normal.

is it worth it to get the SD400 over the SD300?

 

[Fike]

The SD400 isn't really worth the expense. The extra megapixel adds more noise (visual noise) to the images. If you plan on printing your images at 8x10 or less, the SD300 is definitely enough.

Look at the reviews at dpreview.com and stevesdigicams.com.

just ordered the SD300, can't wait for it to get here

 

[amol]

got the SD300 today in the mail ... yeah there's a noise, but that's just the camera adjusting ...

i'd rather have the noise than a bad picture

great camera!
