Which camera is good?

[Little Monster]

The one I am having - Panasonic Lumix, is quite shitty. Blurry shots whenever my son moves around. I need to get a camera which can capture motions. My boy never stay still for photos, so really need one with a faster shutter.

The Canon Ixus range is pretty good and also has a 'sport' function to capture moving subjects. Also has face recognition too so the pictures come out really clear.

I second the recommendation for the Canon Ixus range. They take great photos and good video too.

Which lumix do you have? You can set your camera to AV mode (aperture priority) and adjust the aperture to the smallest number (usually 2.8 on compact cameras), so the shutter speed will be faster. You can also try to put it on Manuel mode and adjust the aperture and shutter speed accordingly.

I have an Olympic "U" 1050 SW. The camera takes reasonable shots and why I bought it is because it's shock proof (can be dropped from a height and it bounces!) and waterproof. My last camera was wrecked by being sucked on, and this one's survived all sort of abuse!

I have got a Olympus FE-320, 8.0 Megapixels. It has got a anti-shake mode, if taken with flash it will always be clear. It's very cheap. If you want to take it, i can sell it to u, i just bought it, but i want to buy a SLR, now hehehe.

We recently got a Nikon, the digital SLR, and I wish we bought it a long time ago because there is no comparison to the shutter speed of this camera to the crappy smaller Nikon I had a coolpix s9. The bad part is that it is big and bulky so it's a bit of a hassle, the good part is that if your toddler is on the go, your chances of catching him in action would be much better.

thanks for the info. just checked the nikon website. wow, even SLR series has so many models. which one do you have? how much is it?
i am fine with the weight as long as it takes great pictures.

My MIL uses Coolpix, and agree, no good pictures.
