My new everyday camera
This past week I was looking to replace my point and shot that was dying a slow death. My husband and I did some research and I ended up getting a Canon and guess what? It's red! (I had to take a picture of it with my cellphone so its not its most flattering side.) My DSLR is a Canon and husband's point and shoot is a Canon. I always am happy with them.
This model is the Canon ELPH Powershot SD780is it is 12 megapixel,
It came in other colors but it wasn't even a question in my mind. I haven't fully played with the functions to the best of my ability (some of you may know I am on hiatus from photography grad school) but its a damn fine little camera. I have left it on full auto no flash this past week for all my outfit photos. It is really smart and picks the best setting automatically and has facial recognition along with a timer that will take 3 shots. It takes great photos in low light. My apartment is really dark hole, we only have two tiny windows and I took this photo with no lights on at about 7:00pm without a flash.
Its also squee small, fits in the cellphone pocket of my purse. I need a snazzy low profile case for it. It also takes HD video which I am excited to use with the new addition coming this week. I have taken a couple videos and they come out fantastic. They are so high quality that my netbook can't handle playing them in their full format. *heee* I don't work for Canon or anything but I know people are always looking for camera suggestions. I highly recommended this one. It retails for about $250 but I bought the $35 you break it, drop it in toilet, throw it out a car window, insurance for two years because I plan to carry it everywhere.
What kind of camera do you use?

Heather. I have to say its pretty damn fantastic. Its more special because I paid for it all myself putting aside 20 a week from my paycheck! (not joint account) May seem like nothing to others but I have had a joint account with dave for 11 years.
Julie well duh we are adorkable twins eh? YOu did the upgrade program didnt you?
Ally I think thats the one dave has!
As I've been reading other blogs and trying to take photos for my own, I'm starting to see limitations (how to photo jewelry?).
If not natural light is your best bet.
I'm kinda new to the whole taking pictures of stuff other than groups of people, so I haven't really played with many settings.
@kimberly: that sounds like a fun little camera!
It's not bad, but I think the Canon (dh has one) is better.
