Whats a better digital Camera, The Nikon Coolpix or the Canon Powershot?

I’d recommend the Canon Powershot. Larger zoom range, has a manual focus, and I think has better quality movies and better sound than the Nikon. I’m actually selling my Nikon after purchasing a G9. It has 23 different shooting modes, including the “night scene” which I really like. I thought the image quality was really good, and the camera just seems more user friendly.

the one that has more pixels

Both makers have many models and offer excellent products.

Lens quality and the signal processing electronics have much more to do with image quality than the number of pixels; especially now that all camers have several million. My first digital camera was a 640x480 Sony Mavica and it took far better pictures than a lot of cameras with more pixels. My 2 MP Canon Elph put a lot of 5 MP cameras to shame as well.

I recommend deciding what your budget is then compare the models of both lines at that price point. I don’t think you’ll do wrong with either choice but one or the other might have a specific feature you need that the other lacks.

I currently have a Canon Powershot SD700IS and it is a great little camera.

I like Nikon cameras better. Im looking for a new camera as well.

I like my Canon Powershot. I haven’t had any problems with it. I’ve never used a coolpix.

Thanks everybody, I think i’ll Get the Canon, Thanxx again ^^ :D
