Well, my Casio QV-R51 just broke and now produces pictures that are interlaced, with muddled colours, and etc. after only 2 years! It was great while it lasted though.
I'm looking for a new one that is at least 4 megapixels, and uses SD memory cards, since I already have several of them, and does not use propietary battery packs because I have a bunch of NimH rechargeables already.
I've been eyeing the Nikon Coolpix L4 and the Canon Powershot A430, but I can't decide! The Canon seems better in almost every aspect, but I'm worried about these e18 errors and bad customer service that I've been hearing about. I don't want to buy another camera after 2 years.
Does anyone have any other suggestions, or know of places that sell budget cameras in Mississauga?
