Update 15 Nov 2012 (Always update every 3 months)
What if you wanted to buy a camera, not more than $ 150 (Rp. 1500.000,- in Indonesia). May be for your family wedding or sudden occasion. You wanted to buy a pocket camera cause sure you need an easy use, and easy to go camera. There’s a bunch of brands but you considering the famous brands because it’s “trustable”. May be because it won’t be so hard to find service center either, in case you got something wrong with your camera.
For sure you want the best of all. But since the best means different to different persone, let see what best for you.
In my research, you will find more than 10 camera from famous brands, but I pick 7 best for you to choose. Before comparing, lets figure it out one by one. Anyway, the order list here I made by myself based on my experience and taste of camera. I will tell you short description for these cameras about its best features comes within the camera, and see the the comparation table below it for more objective comparation. I’m focused on how the camera will produce a good picture and good to handle. Those feature such effects etc I would do it on computer. So, here they are.
1. Canon Canon ELPH 100 HS (Ixus 115 HS)
Canon always has an outstanding product. It produces sharp image and really is user friendly. This 12 MP camera equipped with BSI-CMOS sensor (Backside Illumination). This kind of sensor let you handle a better video on camera. Wide angle from 28mm to 112mm zoom. Its same brand competitor have better zoom up to 5 times on 140 mm, but I’d rather save more for Ixus 115 because its sensor technology.
It’s only freckles in my heart that it shutter lag is not proper for fast capturing.
2. Panasonic FH7 (FS22)
Pana’s always good in speed, most of its camera have a very slight shutter lag and very fast startup. That because this 16 MP camera equipped with Venus Engine IV, makes it work very fast. It also as user friendly as its competitor above. It also have a sharp image and good color. The unique of this camera is it has a 60s slowest shutter speed, makes you able of taking stunning firework pictures. Leica lens start from 28mm wide angle end at 112mm (4x zoom). Touch autofocus for specific frame location focusing.
Unfortunately this fast camera has small aperture from 3.3 wide and 6.5 maks zoom. This compensates the shutter to take a little bit longer shutter (hate dark room).
3. Nikon Coolpix S4300
I always love Nikon’s pictures. It always does handle contrast and color outstandingly. It equipped with very wide zoom start from 26mm (widest among all) and end at 156mm (6x zoom). Touch autofocus for specific frame location focusing.
This 16 MP camera has a bit slight aperture at wide angle (F3.5 - F6.5).
4. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W620
This 14 MP camera comes with their BIONZ processor, makes it powerful in processing images. This is the only camera in this class comes with panorama feature.
If just it comes with image stabilization which is I think must for pocket camera, this one will look nicer.
5. Samsung PL170
What should I say, the company makes the camera unique with front LCD. As many people wish to take a good self portrait, this front LCD would be very useful. It also comes with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, to assure you a sharp picture.
6. Kodak EasyShare M575
This 14 MP camera also comes with panorama feature. Its “share” button allows you to upload images easily to YouTube, Facebook, Flickr and Kodak's Gallery site.
No image stabilizer.
7. Olympus VR-310
Not so famous in this class, this 14 MP camera comes with an outstanding wide to zoom lens (24-240). Unfortunately I never saw a sharp picture taken with a long zoom lens pocket camera.

Match it to your personal character. Every camera have its own major and minor. Pick the camera as the major match your character and purpose.
- If you are "picture quality" fanatic, I suppose you'd have a canon Ixus 115, or oleh Nikon S4300
- If you want a longlasting look of a camera, still with good photo and video result you'd choose Panasonic FH7 (fast, good for a documenter), or Olympus VR-310.
- If you love narcistic photos, get a unique Samsung PL 170.
- Want to have the cheapest one, still with good result of picture and video? May be your choise would fall to Sony DSC W-620.
