Your opinion on these 3 cameras.

[DisneyGuess]

My YDS broke my Canon Powershot SD1300, I loved that camera! In looking at them online, I realized there is a newer model of it, the Canon ELPH 100 HS. I'm also looking at the SD1400. I have no idea what any of this stuff means, so I'm hoping you will share your opinions on them with me. The newer model on Amazon is about $40 more than my original camera. Any thoughts? Which would you pick? There are 4 on here, I've already decided against the 300 HS as there isn't enough difference to justify the much bigger price tag. Between the other 3, which would you go with?TIA!!!! I hate camera shopping!

Any thoughts or opinions at all? Even if you tell me they suck & tell me a different one that would be comparable in price, etc. I'd appreciate it. I am totally lost trying to pick a new camera!

May I recommend the Panasonic DMC-TS3?

It is waterproof, crushproof, etc.

This camera takes pictures fast, works well in low light and is overall great.

Here are some examples from my first outing with it:

Not every single one turned out, but overall it did well.

It also takes 1080p video, here are some videos from it:

I am trying my hand at embedding a video from smugmug, I am not sure if it will work or not, but here it is (It appears you just need to click the picture below):


I do have more videos as well, but I think this should give you a decent idea.

Given a choice I will always choose the camera that will give me the best results in low light, so in the link you sent I would choose the black one 300HS because it has the lowest aperture range and the highest ISO range.
