Secondly, both camera offer manual controls.
Thirdly, MP is just a number. Anything above 5MP should be okay unless you want large prints.
As for image quality, the P80 is very new, and there are not many professional reviews around.
As for the S5IS, its a tried and tested cam.
I suggest you go to a shop and take some pictures. Don't worry about specifications. Buy what you like. |
I dont want very large prints. Generally I get 4x6's or 5x7's. Occasionally I get some 8x10's but thats the max. So I think that a 8MP should be OK.
For the cam, I think that I might get the S5. I am thinking of getting it from the US as there is a very good deal on ebay (us) with lot of accessories, 3 lenses, tripod, 4GB memory card etc for the same price at which only the cam is available in India. The only thing is that it offers a US only warranty, but I can live with that.
For anybody who wants a canon 450D the ebay.com has a very good deal too.
