Digital camera recommendation

[Rufio]

I have a Canon S500.

I want to get another digital camera -- but since i already have the S500 which is pretty compact, i'd like to get another camera w/more features and better quality.

it doesn't have to be compact at all. But I don't want a huge digital SLR camera.

Any suggestions? I"d like to keep it under $600 or so

Thanks!

Canon S2 IS maybe? (I have the S1 IS and :heart: it for all its features)

Edit: 12x optical zoom (10x in the case of the S1), 640x480 30fps movie mode, etc.

 

[toekramp]

the Digital Rebel XT is pretty small

Konica/Minolta Z3 or Z5. Very Impressive

Cheers,

Why get another point-n-shoot? Having to makes absolutely no sense. Just make the investment into a digital SLR which can function as simply as a point-n-shoot and will give you infinitely better pictures.

As was said, the Rebel XT is quite small.

I have the s1-is too, the s2 doesn't have TOO many more features, but are both within about the same price range{as far as I know.} best camera I've ever used, and I've used tons of very pricey canons.

Is it honestly worth your time to post about wasting your time? Just ignore the error. Jeezus. I do recognize that you live your life on here, and therefore it may mean more to you than it does me, but still - its just a forum thread.

So OP, what camera did you get?
