Hey /p/ I'm buying a new small digital camera for a trip to Ireland on April 29th (purchase has to be done by the 20th) and I know this isn't anything of the higher cream of the crop cameras you usually deal with, however, for about 250-300 dollars, what kind of camera should I look into?

Pic related, it's the front runner right now.

Canon PowerShot A650 IS.

Or you can get the Panasonic equivalent which isn't all bad.

If I want video with the camera as well, does this generally cause a great deal of loss in its quality/performance?

I can't think of a point-and-shoot without video.

All of them record videos, usually in 640*480 or something in MPG or AVI. Some are higher resolution.

But no, it's just standard nowadays. There's no drawbacks to it.

Thanks, I'm really liking what I see from that A650IS, it can peak over what I was looking to spend but from what I'm reading it's well worth it. I'm an amateur photographer at best but this is just a simple landscape shot I took a few years ago with a Kodak EasyShare.

Critique of it? Are there some things I need to improve upon to take better photos? Photography is a hobby of mine that I'd like to improve upon.

I don't give opinions on photos because I only represent a physical entity, which pursues collective goals, which controls its own performance, and which has a boundary separating it from its environment.
