Okay so by old camera [ sony cybershot ] keeps breaking, like the button where you press down to take a picture always. always, always pops off and the spring does too and the company gave us a new camera, but the new one just did the same exact thing. I want a canon camera now, like a canon powershot and I just want to know what you’d recomomend ?
My friend has a canon S3 IS and I like that, but she did say that it is heavy and gets annoyoing, so I want a lightweight.
I love taking pictures, espically of horses, animals, nature, etc.
So recomendations would be great
I’m pretty much looks for a lightweight sleek powershot canon that still has good quality.
Lightweight and sleek? That rules out the G7 or the A640, although they are both excellent cameras.
Please look at the new Canon Powershot SD850-IS. This is a very versatile camera that will not get in your way as you travel. It has a nice workable zoom range that will take you from broad scenics to decent telephoto views. Look at some sample images from the reviews on the SD700-IS to get the idea what this lens will cover. It has image stabilization, which really works. It is small enough to fit into a shirt pocket. It has a rechargeable battery that is good for 200-250 shots, depending on how much zooming and viewing you do or on how many shots use the flash. A spare battery is 1¾"x1¼"x¼" and the charger is barely twice that size, so carrying the spare is easy and packing the charger is easy. It has an optical viewfinder which can be useful when the sun is too bright to see the image on your LCD monitor. I could go on, but you can read some reviews and see what the pro’s say.

Click on "Read Owner Opinions," which are mini-reviews by buyers. You can also read the full review on the SD700-IS by clicking on that option.
The upgrades for the SD850-IS are:
Canon Digic III image processor instead of Digic II
8 MP instead of 6 MP
Maximum ISO 1600 instead of ISO 800
Accepts up to 4 GB memory card instead of 2 GB
LCD monitor has better image
Face detection
I listed these in the order of importance, in my opinion. The first two are the ones that really count the most and the rest are just gravy.
G7 or the new G9 that is coming out in a month. They are very lightweight and take amazing photos.

I recommend the Canon A570 IS. This is because it’s a slightly older model, but it has great features of the newer models like image stabilization. This means you’ll get superb quality, but at a price that’s closer to closeout. It’s selling for around $170. It has 7 megapixels and 4x optical zoom.
