This one, the 720 SP has a Lithium Ion battery. It was also mainly released in Europe. I think in America, we got the 820 UZ maybe? Which isnt a lion battery but has better zoom and lens. For the price and quality, you cant go wrong with the 720uz.http://www.olympus-europa.com/site/en/c/cameras/digital_cameras/traveller/sp_720uz/index.htmlhttp://www.engadget.com/2012/08/22/olympus-compact-cameras/

Yes it is the same camera same specs, the only difference is that this camera comes packed in a plain white box without installation cd, but do not worry, because this camera will self install in a few seconds just by plugging it to your pc. I own this business version two months ago and I have no complaints whatsoever.

I like the big zoom range of the Fuji film and the better price, but you need to compare the write type camera's with each other.If you like to buy a Fuji Film HS25EXR i would spend a bit more for the HS30EXR you have a battery pack and some small deference's, the Battery pack works really well.I also ordered a fast 32 GB memory card and a UV lens and a extra double Bat.pack with a Car and 120V via Amason.ZIP NP-W126 (Includes 2-1500mAh battery, pocket charger) for Fuji Finepix HS30EXR, HS33EXR,X-E1, X-Pro1 Just let me know if you like to have more information.Will Mangumwhitehouse B&B; I like the big zoom range of the Fuji film and the better price, but you need to compare the write type camera's with each other.If you like to buy a Fuji Film HS25EXR i would spend a bit more for the HS30EXR you have a battery pack and some small deference's, the Battery pack works really well.I also ordered a fast 32 GB memory card and a UV lens and a extra double Bat.pack with a Car and 120V via Amason.ZIP NP-W126 (Includes 2-1500mAh battery, pocket charger) for Fuji Finepix HS30EXR, HS33EXR,X-E1, X-Pro1... » Read More I like the big zoom range of the Fuji film and the better price, but you need to compare the write type camera's with each other.If you like to buy a Fuji Film HS25EXR i would spend a bit more for the HS30EXR you have a battery pack and some small deference's, the Battery pack works really well.I also ordered a fast 32 GB memory card and a UV lens and a extra double Bat.pack with a Car and 120V via Amason.ZIP NP-W126 (Includes 2-1500mAh battery, pocket charger) for Fuji Finepix HS30EXR, HS33EXR,X-E1, X-Pro1 Just let me know if you like to have more information.Will Mangumwhitehouse B&B; « Show Less

I got confused reading the reviews in the search engine over this, and I almost bought the wrong model. This camera (HX400V) is NOT the same as the H400, and reviews about this camera compared with the Sony website is a bit confusing. One reviewer said they are both the same except for GPS, which is incorrect. The basic model has a 63x zoom, and no GPS or WiFI, and some other features are missing, but the HX 400B/V is the high end model with the Carl Zeiss 50x lens, (better glass, lower f/stop) the Wifi, GPS and the upgraded capabilities.

Does anyone know the differences in the sensor size for the two cameras? Megapixel count doesn't necessarily mean better PQ, but a larger sensor does, right?

It says on Olympus' website that both cameras have a 3" screen so I would assume the dimensions are the same so I believe it should be compatible.

They don't sell the SX240 in my country! But as far as I can tell from a bit of research, the cameras are identical except for the GPS. I continue to think highly of my 260! I don't know whether they'll let me insert a link in a reply, but you can find comparisons of the two cameras on the Internet. Here's one: http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_PowerShot_SX240_HS_SX260_HS/

Yes, it is the same camera. I ordered one about a month ago. It arrived and I did not understand that the labeling was different from what I ordered. I called the store where it came from and they told me it was the same camera. I can describe the camera in 2 words. I LOVE IT. I'm on vacation and it is easy to use and takes great pictures.

I have no idea. We had to send the SZ-12 back due to internal memory problems. Since we also had the same issues with the SZ-14 that we purchased, we decided against trying another Olympus model. Good luck!!

Funny, I was just looking at the two cameras myself and ended up purchasing the SD880IS. The SD880IS is slimmer (0.9 vs. 1.1) and has a bigger LCD screen (3.0 vs. 2.5). Granted, the SD880IS gives up a little in terms of optical zoom (4.0 vs 5.0) but that's the price you pay for having a slim compact camera. I wanted something above the run of the mill 3x optical zoom cameras out there and the 4x SD880IS fits the bill, even if I had to pay $50 extra over the price of the SD890IS. And FYI, the SD880IS is a newer camera, hence the "better" DIGIC 4 Image Processor over the SD890IS's DIGIC III Image Processor.

Hey Julie- I too had this same question so I went out and purchased the Lumix DMC-TZ5. I found the camera to be very good in the zoom department and video was nice as well. The reason I returned this camera was because of the picture quality. Panasonic seems to me, to have yellow pictures. Even though there is IS, I still had many shots that turned out to be blurry. I owned a Pansasonic in the past and had the same issues on that camera. I now own the Olympus Stylus 1010 for about 2 weeks. I had a mid-size camera for years and loved it but wanted a pocket size camera that would do justice. I am very picky and have bought and returned 4 different point and shoot cameras. The Olympus 1010 is the first camera that I have fell in love with. Very fast, very small, and the image quality is awesome! I have a very difficult shooting base but this camera far exceeds any other camera I have purchased or spent many hours playing with. I am so very satisfied with my purchase and Olympus really has come through with this camera. Hope this helps!

Hello Maria,Although the port on the back seems very similar, it doesn't appear as though your camera is listed. I would say you could buy it and return it. I did find this on Amazon: olympus viewfinder vf-2 if you out that in Amazon's search field several viewfinders come up.

They seem to be essentially the same camera and will take photos of similar quality. I would be guided by price...buy whichever one you can get at the best price.

I did a lot of research between these two cameras before I bought mine (the Panasonic FZ35) and the most helpful website was cameralabs.com. They have side by side comparisons of pictures and video footage so you can see for yourself the difference in image quality.

I use the case from my old Olympus Stylist Epic along with the neck strap that came with the LX3. The mfr# is 10846 and the B&H; photo # isOLCCQ. Costs around ten bucks or so. Was going to try and find the $100 Panasonic case for this camera; but no longer. Doesn't bother me that the case says Olympus on the front. Just put your extra battery in your pocket.

While both of these are so called "bridge" cameras the Olympus SP-100 has one huge advantage over *all* other cameras in the class including the Fuji FinePix S1. The Dot Sight. At high zooms it is very difficult to frame the subject with any other camera. This can be very very frustrating. The Dot Sight eliminates that frustration. Once you are familiar with it you just put the illuminated reticle on the subject while keeping both eyes open. This makes tracking moving subjects very easy and intuitive. I just works better than any other camera. Otherwise the photos and everything else are pretty equal across the entire class.

The one I received had Olympus branding. Don't buy it, though. It's garbage.
