Canon Powershot SX110 IS or Canon Powershot A590IS ? I'm unsure which one to go for - can someone who has used both let me know which one I should go for ?

I think you should get the Panasonic TZ5 (or TZ4 if you don't care about HD video). The TZ's will jump to an Optical 16.7x@ 3MEGAPIXELS, and will be in the $200- 230 area vs. the much more expensive 12x...I have both the TZ5 and SX110. They are both GREAT cameras. The TZ5 is lighter and smaller, and you can take video with optical vs digital zoom (clearer video). I bought the SX 110 , because there is a CHDK modification available for it (Google CHDK). You can do timelapse, RAW format, extend the shutter speed to 64 seconds....but if you are using the camera for the day, I would go with the TZ4 or 5, but you better hurry- all of these cameras are discontinued!

I have had both the s95 and s100 and they are wonderful cameras..What I love about the Canon 120 : touch screen..great for spot focusing with stills and movies Faster Af Slow motion video option Shoots 10 fps Very sold feel....great pocket camera HDR that really works very well Terrific low light So my answer to you is I think you would be very very happy with the S120//Hope that helps Dave

hello... this camera is a wonderful camera, but it's more like my pocket camera. I also own a Canon SX30IS which is a superb camera, not quite the DSLR but comes pretty close. I love Canon as a brand overall and also the fact that you can swipe memory cards and keep the same pictures regardless of which camera you took them with. Both of them are great cameras and are capable of taking wonderful pictures, it's pretty hard for me to say which one is my favorite. Again, it's a personal choice. I can't give you more advice since i'm a beginner in picture taking, but these 2 have made it pretty easy to get on my hobby. Good luck with your new purchase! hello... this camera is a wonderful camera, but it's more like my pocket camera.

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/

Just purchased the Canon SX40. It is truly amazing. There are not too many boats out on the ice right now, but I think it will do what I want. The picture quality is fantastic. Shortcomings? Since I'm a newbie I don't understand why some pics are blurry and others not; but that is probably more my inexperience than the camera. Also, it shoots 1080 video only at 24 fps. This is still pretty good, but there are some situations where a moving video is less crisp. But I could always switch to non HD if I choose, and have 30 fps that way. Thanks for your help.

Just look on USA.canon.com, search for PowerShot S110 and click on the What's in the Box link.http://usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/pro_ps_digital_cameras/powershot_s110?selectedName=BoxContent

The Canon SX10IS is much better than the Nikon P90, despite having a shorter zoom and less Megapixels. Image quality and responsiveness is what you should be looking for, and the P90 does not have either of them.I would look also at the Panasonic FZ28, specially if you prize weight - this is the choice I made, after testing Nikon, Canon, Panny and Olympus.

Can you tell me about the results? I still haven't done the actual ordering, I'm still researching. I want to make sure I get a good camera. I have a Canon PowerShot and I'm happy with the pictures. That's why I wanted to stick with a brand I was familiar with.

I purchased this week and was dissapointed by a Panasonic ZS10 and was also searching for a replacement. You might like this website as a comparison of features. For the more common photos (birthday, parade, sports) it looks like the Elph 500 is the winner. Choose the SX230 if you travel on a regular basis and take mostly outdoor and daytime photos. The GPS feature and high zoom capability will help with those far away pics taken in nature (mountains, pyramids, etc). http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-ELPH-500HS-vs-Canon-SX230-HS

I agree. Recently my hubby and I were shopping, and I wanted either the Olympus FE-370, or the CAnnon sx-110-Is.Low and behold when I opened the parcel yesterday, there was that fugifilm s1000. every shot was blurry and just crap!Im returning it today, and going to get one of my first choices.

I just realized that you're comparing the older SX100 - not the newer SX110 - to the SX120. So my points above is worthless. It only compares the 110 to the 120.You are correct, I only tried that on Canon's. Canon cameras that use their own proprietary battery has a battery meter, and the ones using AA does not.Another upgrade from the SX110 is that you can see more thumbnails at a time.

I haven't found one that perfectly suits my needs yet, though I am considering the Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1Here's a link to it on Amazon:http://tinyurl.com/q56h7qBut I'm holding out for something better until the end of this year. In which case I'll probably go with the Canon.

Well, it's just the size of the sensor troubles me. What kind of picture is this going to take at even a 400 ISO? Nevermind 800 or higher.I just wonder if it's worth getting a camera this big when the sx200IS can be had for almost half the price, it's way easier to carry, and when you add the chdk firmware, will be almost as functional.I suppose if this were to be your only camera, but personally, I'd like to see what they do with the Rebel, either later this year or next. Or if I have a "rich uncle die", buy the 5D Mark II ;-)

You need to check out this website: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_s2-review/ this guy is incredible in his reviews. I personally have used the S1IS and the S2IS (my dad and brother bought the upgrade) and you can truly put it at 0cm and take an in focus picture. Hope this helps!

Hey Fish! Consumer Reports gives the A590 IS a "Best Buy" rating. It's the only "Best Buy" awarded out of 189 "point and shoot" cameras they've tested. I've use their "Best Buy" advice to purchase everything from batteries to BMWs. They've never given me a bum steer.

I'm also trying to decide between the Nikon Coolpix P90 and Olympus sp590uz. I mostly take pictures of wildlife, but need an occasional picture of family or knitting projects in doors. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks,

no support rep here either. And I havn't tested a p&s; this small for a long time. All cameras can perform well, you do have to read the manual, and practice, plus read tutorials which help improve the quality of your work. I bought the sx230 because Canon has a good reputation for their point and shoots and I wantede the "small 14x" option. Has nothing to do with fan clubs. If you have a problem you should send it back to Canon and if they can't fix it they will give you a new one if it's still under warranty. Good luck to you, cdowner! No, I do not sell for Canon.
