What is a good point and shoot camera with manual controls and is tiny?
I need a point and shoot camera that has good manual settings like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and so on. I also need it to be tiny, I'm in high school so i want to be able to carry it around but still take good pictures without carrying my SLR everywhere.
Canon has a couple of point & shoot models that fit your criteria (with full manual control).
They are the SX200 IS or the SD990 IS.
pros...the SX200 IS has 12x optical zoom (336mm) and a starting wide angle of 28mm.
It records video in HD.
cons...It has no optical viewfinder
The flash automatically pops up as soon as you turn on the camera (whether you need the flash or not).
The SD990 IS does have an optical viewfinder and is more compact than the SX200 IS.
Both cameras have very small sized sensors, so their ISO capability is obviously poor when compared to a dSLR.
I'm leaning towards the SX200 IS...because it has the 28mm wide angle, 12x zoom and records video in HD, though I hate that it doesn't have a viewfinder.
