Last year Canon had a couple decent cameras starting at about 35mm - the A3100 IS and the IXUS 1000 HS. No idea on pricing, though. Taylor

Well, most landscape and architectural photographers love them. Depends on what you like to shoot.

Just want a easy camera to take out places to just shoot nights out with friends etc... I get Wide Angle distortion when taking photos of a person on their own which I hate.

Just want a easy camera to take out places to just shoot nights out with friends etc... I get Wide Angle distortion when taking photos of a person on their own which I hate. What settings should I use for taking photos of people out and about? I have the Samsung ES9 currently and so far haven't been successful with photos! Thanks. Most if not all P&S's have a zoom lens and just zooming in a bit will help like what's been said. Typical primes for portrait use on DSLR's are in the 85-100mm range. If you're not happy with the Samsung...try a Canon SD4000, S90, S95..they all have a zoom equivalent of 28-105mm and would be good for night shots since they all have a fast F/2 lens.
