Hi everyone! I've been a longtime Canon Rumors reader/lurker, but never got around to registering or asking a question until today. I've been wanting to get back into photography as a hobby. I used to shoot regularly with my EOS A2E and 3 (yeah, it's been awhile).
So, to my question. I had a Canon Elph 310 that I used for day to day shooting. It was pretty convenient since it fits in pockets and had some decent features. It got wet during a rainstorm as my bags were being loaded on a plane (water literally came out of the battery compartment), so I'm looking for a replacement.
While I usually use Canon, I'm not adverse to others. I'm primarily looking for a compact that is small (fits in pockets), is inexpensive ($200-300ish), and perhaps is a bit of a step up from the Elph 310. I was looking at the Powershots and was thinking the SX700 and SX600 looked interesting. I was wondering your thoughts on these or other compacts. I'd like to start shaking off some of the rust (and dust off my SLRs) of my shooting skills!
Thanks for any and all advice!
