I'm getting a digital camera and have kindof narrowed it down to two, the Sony dsc-w50 and the Canon sd600.
Is image stabilization that important? From what I can tell the canon has it but the sony does not. Also, do the both work well with macs? The thing that concerns me about the Sony is that it's digi zoom is only 2x, but then they mention that it has "smart zoom"? What's that and is it even useful?
If anyone has any other recommendations I'd love to hear them. I definitely want something tiny that I can fit in my pocket easily, and am looking to spend about $200-$250. Most of the pics I take will be just me and my friends going out, some concerts, and baseball games. The guy at best buy was really pushing the Olympus FE-230 but I really know nothing about that brand and am kindof hesitant about it.
