I bought a Nikon CoolPix P1 to replace my CoolPix 4500 which was stolen a few months ago. What a dreadful disappointment. While the camera is a lot faster and the shutter lag isn't as bead, the lens is nowhere near as good as on the 4500. Especially the incredibly bad barrel distortion in macro mode.
As a replacement I was thinking of getting either the Canon SD 630 of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1. According to Steves-Digicams both seem to be incredibly good value for money, and produce photos quite above average.
So what do you guys think? The Sony or the Canon? Or is there something else in that price range that I should consider? If you prefer one over the other, let's hear your reasons why.
Thanks in advance for your help.
