How does this compare to the SX210? Can anyone tell me how this compares to the SX210?

You could check out the comparison on this Canadian website, with lots of additional information: http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon_PowerShot_SX130_IS-vs-Canon_PowerShot_SX210_IS But it doesn't mention another major difference: The SX130IS is powered by two standard-AA-sized batteries (that's why it is bulkier and heavier than the SX210IS). Maybe you are already using (or considering to use) AA rechargeable batteries for other devices, so that you have got (or want to buy) a charger for them? The best choice would be Sanyo Eneloop rechargeables (or other brands of so-called low-self-discharge batteries), as they keep up the voltage required by digital cameras longer than normal rechargeables, and keep up their power for several months when not in use. In the long run, this is cheaper and eco-friendlier than single-use batteries, and more flexible than the special battery included in most cameras, as you can buy single-use batteries anywhere as an emergency backup. After all, if the technical data and reviews don't help you to decide, I recommend you to look at both cameras in a shop, to compare in real life how it feels to use them.

After much research I choose the Canon SX700. Love the camera. I have Canon EOS equipment so a often lean towards Canon.

I don't hate my Panasonic LX3, but if this new Canon SX200 had a faster lens, I would ditch the LX3 in a heartbeat and get the SX200. I guess I'll just wait until the reviews and photo samples come out.

I recently bought the SX10IS and it's a nice camera, zoom is kind of noisy for the price, so I am sending it back and waiting on the SX1IS to come in. I want the faster burst rate, the HD movie quality and the remote control features.

Oddly enough, I ended up going with neither of these. I compared these to the Sony CX130. Picked them up in the stores and found the image of the Sony to be more brilliant. The Sony form factor was smaller as well which will be good for traveling. Best part is that it's only $350. It uses SD cards (no internal memory), but that didn't bother me since SD cards are so cheap now.

The SX120 at ISO 800 and 1600 is way better than the SX110, this is the biggest difference I've seen. Search for some reviews that have the same shots at ISO1600 for both cameras and compare the two side by side and it'll jump out at you. I'm not so sure the slightly smaller sensor has much difference, sensor technology improves very slowly too, so maybe it has better signal to noise ratio even though it's more MP on a slightly smaller surface area.I don't like the SX200 for a bunch of reasons, the always up flash is annoying. It has a slower lens than the SX110/120, and it's way more expensive. The SX120 at ISO 800 and 1600 is way better than the SX110, this is the biggest difference I've seen.

Get the SX100 as a refurb at a cheap price. You'll never tell the difference.

I have upgraded my S90 to the new S120. I have used my S90 extensively as a second camera for traveling and decided to upgrade to the S120. I like the new camera size being smaller and the touch screen. Overall the S120 has a lot of new features which I haven't particularly used. The only gripe that I have is the image quality of the S120 is not as good as the S90. I taken alot of pictures with both and the S90"s pictures are sharper. It might not mean much to most people but I like my pictures razor sharp. My S90 is sharper than my 2 DSLR. Just my opinion.

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.

Well, that's kind of my point. Why get the SX1? It's going to be too big to have the p&s; convenience, and the quality won't even be close to even the Rebel (especially if they release a new one in the next 6 months.The SX200IS should be small enough to carry everywhere, and have close to the quality of the SX1.As much as the SX1 interest me, I'm having trouble figuring its place in my, or others, camera needs.

I had the S5200 until it was stolen. I replaced it with an S700 and even though it was cheaper, it had more features, I like it so much I ordered the S8000Fd, I love what that zoom can do, so much power and can do it hand held. Great macro shooting with both cameras too.

Well to be very honest I don't feel I could compare something I am not familiar with. I would only be reading reviews about the Finepix S1800 and not actually comparing 2 products. I can only say (since I bought it for my son who is 36) that the pictures he takes with it are amazing and the price was very reasonable. I am sorry but I think if I tried to compare it to something I am not familiar with I would be giving you false information.

I own the FZ200 and returned the X-S1. Even though the X-S1 has a larger sensor which should result in better image quality, unfortunately the X-S1's auto focus is unreliable, image stabilization almost seems non-existent , and the lens has about the same slow and dark specs as a DSLR kit lens, which results in blurry pics more often them not. To get around that, you can up the ISO a bit, but that won't help focus issues and reduces the mirage quality. I get much better pics out of my Panasonic FZ200 and I suspect you would get the same out of the FZ70.

I have used the SX280 HS 12.1 MP over a month of two trips and many photos. It is easy to use and carry and takes great pictures. I usually keep it in the flash off mode, the auto focus works well. I have two spare batteries but I could get by with one as I mainly take photos.

Thank you Stephen,I just tried to buy the SX210is from amazon but was told they won't ship it to Brunei where I am at the moment - wierd, they sent me a dive computer a few months back.Does any one know a camera whole saler with similar prices that ship overseas?Anyway, I think I will buy the SX210is somehow anyway, I think it sounds like a great little camera to take on holidays and snap family pics/movies.For diving I am thinking I might use and old canon A520 that I have - I'll just have to chase up the housing for it, until I get decent at it then I'll sink more money into a good dive camera.

s95 is a great option if you only take up close pictures . When it comes to have the best package for all different activities , the sx230 is the one to go with . I personally prefer the sx230

I have been doing tons of research online regarding both. The SX20 has excellent reviews about its photo quality compared to the Sony HX1. The benefit to the Sony is that it has 1080p compared to 720p on the Canon. If you want 1080p on a Canon, it will cost an extra $200 for the Canon SX1 is. I personally prefer the Lumix (Panasonic) cameras over both. They use Leica lens which is considered the Rolls Royce of camera lenses. I have used Lumix cameras over the years. I suggest you check out the DMC-FZ35. This camera is highly rated by experts and owners. Each of these cameras has pros and cons against each other however it will all depend on what features you are looking for. If you are looking for camera with loads of manual features, great photo quality and good build, go Canon. If you want easier to use with excellent photo quality, go with the Lumix. The one thing that Canon could improve on is their menu. Many owners had made comments that the menu interface on Canon's is not user friendly. Lumix and Sony have easier to navigate menu's.
