I've been looking at the Nikon Coolpix 7900. I compared it to the Canon Ixus 700 (Poweshot SD500) and right away I noticed the big difference in "quickness" between the two. The LCD-based viewfinder on the Canon had much slower refresh rate than the one on the Nikon. From what I've heard, the Ixus (Powershot) have slightly better image quality than the Coolpix, but also have worse red-eye reduction.
I've not yet found a local store stocking the Casio Exlim EX-Z750, which seems to be very interesting. From what I've read the image quality is comparable to the Coolpix 7900, in some cases better. The flash seem to be a little weak and apparently it's easily out ranged by other cameras in this class. But instead, it's very good at handling movie recording, and it also got MPEG4-support. I've also read that the Exlim has very high refresh rate when the LCD is used as viewfinder. Anyone who knows exactly how fast?
So, to the trick question, which camera gives most bang for the buck?
