Canon Ixus 40 vs. Olympus Mju-Mini S

1 post

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what digital camera to get? My last one has just died (perhaps due to me dropping it onto a stone floor) and I'm finding it hard living without it! I think I've narrowed down my options to the Olympus Mju-Mini S (the 5.0 mega pixel version of the 4.0 Mju-Mini) and the Canon Ixus 40. I don't know much about digital cameras and I'm not looking for absolutely top quality photos - just ones that will look good. I had a 4.0 mega pixel previously and so I thought it might be an idea to get a 5.0 one this time, merely because they're cheaper now. Also, I had to manually focus my last camera when it was dark, which was a total pain - is that common with digital cameras nowadays?

Anyway, would be grateful for any suggestions/advice (battery life for example?) Thanks very much!
