Kreuger Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I'm looking into getting my first digital camera. The two I've narrowed down to are the Canon Powershot S40 and Nikon Coolpix 4600. Which is the better camera and why? I'm not worried about the fact that the Nikon doesn't record sound in videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Floyd Veteran Posted November 6, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 6, 2005 Nikon for these reasons: 1. the canon is discontinued 2. the nikon has a 2x faster shutter speed at 1/3000s 3. SD memory which will become standard for P&S, SLR-Like and lowend SLR camera 4. canon is way more expensive than the nikon according to dpreview (unless you can get a good deal) 5. nikon is 2x lighter 180gr compared to 323gr 6. Both better macro and standard focus range Plus for the canon: 1. Min shutter speed slower than the nikon (15 secs compared to 4 secs) more infos http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_po...cp4600&show=all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A520 is a much better choice. I'd take the A520 over the 4600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
