Which camera is better for me?

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-S100-Wide-An...

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-WB150F-Long-Smart-Ca...

I don't know much about cameras at all so I'm looking for some advice! I know I want a good point and shoot, so if there's any other suggestions besides the two links I'm all ears. I really like the design for the S100, how the shape looks small, nice looking, and compact cameras while also able to take quality photos.

My budget is $250.

Hoping to buy soon, since it's cyber Monday!

    Sometimes we are undecided between a couple of camera models.

    The best thing for figuring out the differences and picking the winner is to go to the manufacturer's website and compare the specs. If they are made by the SAME company, you may even find a comparison tool right there on their website.

    Carefully read the specs and make note of the differences.

    Make sure to get a camera with manual modes (manual, aperture priority and shutter priority), so you have the choice to be as creative as you want to be. Don't worry..... the old AUTO function will still be there, too, just in case you can't cope without it.

    Nearly always the newer and/or more expensive model actually IS the better one, too, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you really NEED the dearest one. This is the part that is hardest for us to answer, since YOU know much better what your needs are than we do.

    If you're still undecided, google for a few reviews and check out sites such as www.dpreview.com or http://snapsort.com/compare .

    Doing this work yourself instead of waiting for an answer to be presented has a big advantage for you. It forces you to do some thinking, research and learning. In the process, you become an educated shopper who is much more likely to enjoy his/her purchases instead of regretting the wrong choices a short while later.

    Enjoy the journey - that researching part can actually be fun!

    Buying something in a big rush without any knowledge is a recipe for disappointment.
