Hi Karen, thanks - I saw the basketball game pictures - good ones !! I also saw another photostream of yours picturing a few monuments (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kdemerly/4439289067/in/photostream/). Are they shot with HX1?Also, whats your feedback on HX1 results. Both daylight and night shots?

I chose the Sony HX1. It isn't perfect, but it fit my needs (action shots, low light) The panorama is pretty cool too. Some pictures of my first time out with the camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kdemerly/sets/72157623202912683/

I have the SX1IS ad SX30IS. Going to sell one of them. I did a comparison of what I called final image quality.http://www.cameramike.com/cameramike/MEDI_1./Pages/SX30is_compare_SX1is.html Yes - RAW output is an advantage but when you reduce the noise of the SX30 image it is of equal or maybe better quality of the RAW SX1 image. Using my simple non technical setup. I did look at other setting but both like iso 80 the best. I do not need a high definition video - so that difference is not important.

I really don't know that camera. and all my experience is with the Sony hx 20 v. and believe me when I say the cover is big and still does not accommodate the full length of the zoom

The Sony is slightly more expensive, has newest features like CMOS type sensor, faster burst mode, improved panoramic picture mode, shoots 1080p HD video, stereo microphone. Consumer Reports has not tested it yet, but I found some information on their website. They have tested the Canon and give it high marks. Canon has a hot shoe in addition to pop-up flash. Both brands rate high on reliability. I have not bought one yet and am not an expert.

The sx50 has a faster response so it will take the picture faster. The screen in the back can flip out so you can record yourself taking a video or pictures and watch it happen. I personally think the Powershot sx50 is an upgraded version of the sx500 just with 12mp instead of 16 and a few different functions. Thats all.

SD series is more for the "point and shoot" crowd whereas the Sxx series offers more exposure adjustability for better creative control. The Sxx series also generally has larger image sensors which creates more interpixel spacing which reduces light bleeding between pixels thus reducing noise. (The "larger" reference is in reference to physical size of the sensor not pixel count.) As for whether the S90 takes better/clearer pictures the answer is most likely yes but how much better is going to be based on the situation. In low light situations the answer is a definite yes as the S90 has an f2.0 aperature which allows twice as much light as the f2.8 of the SD1200. This combined with the larger sensor will allow the S90 to take better low light pictures. Some other differences favoring the S90 are the 28mm wide angle lens and flash range. The 28mm lens captures an image roughly 25% wider than the 35mm lens on the SD1200. Flash distance increases from 14 to 21 feet at wide angle setting. The downside of the S90 is size. It is considerably larger and heavier than the SD1200. As for the reddish tones, this is a function of Canon cameras. It can be minimized however through proper use of the white balance/lighting type settings in the camera. I hope this helps. (note: Sxx refers to the S10 through S90 series not the S100 through S500 series which were point and shoot models.)

Because LX 7 and RX100 are the top two smaller camera on the market disregard the price difference. LX7 has bigger lens, better night photo. Sony has bigger sensor...

I've been waiting for this camera to be released here in the US but after researching it I'm thinking that the SX10IS will be better for photos (in the superzoom group that is). Here's a link for an in depth review (which does not include the RAW feature since it has not been released yet). http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_PowerShot_SX1_IS/

The X20 has a slightly different sensor that is suppose to be slightly sharper but the differences are very small, as to be virtually undetectable. Some people like the X10 better then the 20 because it has a more sophisticated and feature rich Contrast Control setting. The lens is exactly the same. I was dissapointed that there wasn't more of a difference. Oh ... the X20 displays some of your exposure settings in the optical view finder. But a lot of folks don't even use the optical view finder and instead just use the excellent monitor. It was pretty much of a waste for me to "upgrade" from the 10 to the 20 ... but my son enjoys inheriting the 10. :-) The X20 has a slightly different sensor that is suppose to be slightly sharper but the differences are very small, as to be virtually undetectable.

In short, comparing to SX110, at least on paper, SX120 got better processor, but worse sensor and shorter battery life.In other words, I think that at best these models are about the same, at worst SX120 is a step down.About SX200: judging by reviews, it seems that SX110 is (well... was) better in low light. May be that's the reason why Canon dumbed down SX120 so the image quality of different cameras will better agree with their price points.

Brad - I don't think you can go wrong with either camera. Add to for your consideration the Sony HX5 - it's on a par with these two.I looked long and hard at all 3 of these, researching specs and comments, as well as trying them out in camera stores, etc. I finally chose the S8100, although only coming out in September the amount of reviews is sparse - but even compared to the S8000 earlier model the improved S8100 proves to be a great camera. One thing I really like is the heft and feel of the camera, as well as the professional and high quality look and detail of the camera. It's a joy to take photos with this camera. The photos from it are stunning. Brad - I don't think you can go wrong with either camera.

Hello Jack, I have not done that comparison I'm afraid. But I had the LUMIX FZ200, which does compare to the RX10, and I can say that i like the SONY better.

Basically this camera is 24-200mm. My husband has the hx300. Yes, the zoom is farther on the hx300 but for my needs the IQ of the rx is better. Fyi, there is a book I just bought by A. White from Amazon that is a guide to the rx10 that is in-depth regarding the operation of the rx. I am finding it very helpful.

I was looking at buying either the Sony HX10, or the HX20 and saw your question. Although there really aren't any reviews on the Sony HX cameras yet (1 review doesn't count), the Cannon SX 260 has several, and a consistent theme is noise when recording video... to me this is a deal breaker, also the Sony HX 10 is 18mp & 1080 HD vs the 12mp & 720 HD on the Cannon. I'm leaning toward buying the Sony HX10, but are waiting for at least 10 reviews.

I have all kind of cameras (Sony Nex 5 N, Fuji XPro1, Fuji X100, Nikon DSLR, and Three Olympus) , and never attracted to Canon Products!.... but I know about the Canon EOS M, you can compare it to Sony Nex but Not to a highly respected camera like Fuji X Pro1! They do not have any common ground!, Fuji is a professional Camera and you need a rich backgrand of photography to be able to use it. Fuji X Pro1 is a Porsche 911 and Canon EOS M is a VW!!......you have to compare Fuji Xp1 to a Leica Not to a Cheap Canon!

Why do you say " that the SX10IS will be better for photos" when this is the bottom line of the review you link: Canon's PowerShot SX1 IS has justifiably become one of the most talked-about super-zoom cameras on the market today. It takes the already capable PowerShot SX10 IS with its powerful 20x zoom and articulated screen, but swaps the sensor for a CMOS version which can deliver both HD video recording and fast continuous shooting. As such, the SX1 IS becomes the latest and arguably one of the best hybrid cameras to date, delivering 10 Megapixel stills at up to 4fps with a decent degree of manual control, along with Full HD video in the 1080p format. The SX1 IS is more than just the SX10 IS with HD and fast continuous shooting though. Canon's also fitted an HDMI port to deliver quality output to an HDTV, supplied an infra red remote control to make those HD slideshows even more convenient, and swapped both the viewfinder and screen for wider 16:9 shaped models to better-suit the HD video mode. There's also a digital teleconverter option which can double the reach of the lens without any loss of quality when filming video. The lens motor is also the improved silent mechanism used on higher end cameras and comes with RAW without need to update firmware (my additional comments...the only downside I see is the lower resolution viewfinder but I rarely use viewfinders any more anyway).
