DPS has an interesting survey on the top 10 point and shoot digital cameras, listing the following models at the top, according to popularity:
- Canon PowerShot S3 IS
- Canon Powershot S2 IS
- Panasonic DMC-FZ50
- Sony Cybershot DSC-H5
- Canon PowerShot SD800 IS
- Canon Powershot A620
- Canon PowerShot S5 IS
- Fujifilm Finepix S5200
- Canon Powershot SD550
- Nikon Coolpix 5400
I edited the descriptions to leave out the model names only. Interestingly, their data shows that Canon has about 41% of the market, with Sony and Fujifilm tied at second place with 14% each. It also shows that image–stabilized models indeed appeal to consumers, with most of the Canons IS–equipped.
Personally, I prefer Canon’s P&S models over the others, though I think Fujifilm’s noise reduction for compact digital models is quite interesting. What about you, what’s your favorite compact digital camera?
