I'm headed to madagascar for the peace corps in june and wanted to get a digital camera to take pictures of the kids and lemurs and all that. So I wanted some advice. I'm looking for a camera that:
is around $100-175 on e-bay
can be used (not really worried about warranties)
is ultra compact
good battery life (i probably won't have access to electricity too often)
very, very reliable (i'm not going to get another camera if this one craps out)
good in humidity (although I will put in a ziplock bag when not in use)
and something mac compatible would be nice
my two candidates so far are the canon sd300 and the casio exilim ex-z40
any advice? thanks!
