looking for a compact digital camera

tofu

prefer canon or Nikon, compact & slim(as small as possible), can take hd video, user friendly, <$300. pic quality needs to be ok to good, at least better than cellphone's pic.  any suggestion?

look at canon sd 940is, canon sd 1400is & nikon coolpix s1400, any of these is good?  thanks.

why restrict yourself to Canon / Nikon only?? I think Panasonic / Fuji / Pentax / Sony got some good point and shoot DC too...

Pentax Optio H90 $180


Casio EX-H10 $250


Panasonic FP3 $220


Fujifilm Finepix F80 EXR $280


Sony H55

thanks for you suggestion, i don't know much about dm and there are too many options, so just go with the reliable brands.  

for sure not sony, their products are over priced.  casio and fuji are not the one that i will go for, because i know nothing about them.  from your suggestion, probably i will check out the panasonic.  so you believe canon & nikon are overpriced?

Futureshop
(for buying Canon only)  trade in any used camera even if it is functioning or not, it is worth $50 to $100.

I think currently Canon/Panasonic/Fuji are the best manufacturers for point n shoot DC. Sony got some cheapo too but their quality is not very good.

For price....I think nothing is overpriced if you like it, and every of one them are overpriced coz after few months they will be outdated.

You can also trade in in Kerrisdale Cameras for any types of cameras.

checked kerrisdale cameras website, they have more restrictions on their buy back program
probably will go for canon sd1400is, since it is on sale and i can't really tell the different between those dc

Fuji's really not bad, worth a 2nd look.
