Can't decide between the 330Hs and the 530HS. Any thoughts? In other words, Is it better to have a camera with 12.1 MP/10X Zoom OR 10MP and 12X Zoom?

I'd prefer the 330 HS -- because I don't trust touchscreens.However, I don't own either at the moment. I'm shopping for a replacement for a damaged 300 HS, and the 330 HS appears to be a similar camera with some nice upgrades.The differences in megapixels and zoom range are really minor. It's doubtful that you'd notice any significant diffs.

My thought was that it is better to have a higher resolution mega pixel. It is a better resolution and if you modify the photos by zooming or printing large photos the quality is better.

I am not a camera expert by any means. MP designates picture quality and zoom has to do with bringing far away things closer. I rarely use this feature. Love the camera, it works for me.

Both the Canon A610 and A620 have smaller screens. They also have the drawback of ISO only to 400. The Canon A540 pushes the ISO to 800 which is important for getting the photo in lower lght levels with less chance of camera "shake". The movable screen on the A620 intriqued me but them I really did not see a pressing need for it. The 620 has a longer zoom range, but again the more compact size of the A540 won the day. The A620 takes 4 AA batteries and that adds to the bulk and weight. Again, the A540 won the day because I wanted a high function, pocketable camera. I hope this helps you.

I can only reply that the 500 is wonderful and gets great definition with zoom. Can't compare it to 510 as I do not have that one.

This 14mp camera is awesome... It has the iauto feature plus drama shot and 5x zoom... It would make a great replacement to your camera... having 30 different scenes and filters and illuminated screen are great features... If you can afford 10 USD more you can get te 16MP VR-340 if you want better zoom... That has 10x zoom and a make-up filter... however it has less filters an scenes so... I would recommend either one for a replacement to your camera...

the 5200 is has more features, & does more for you. I would have bought that one if I'd done some research. However the 3300 is a peach of a camera for me. If you are a real photographer...get the 5200.

I'm an armature photographer.. but have explored both d3100 and a33.. 1) similar image quality.. 2) both do 1080p HD video with auto focus but sony gets a bit warm (hot for some) while video recording.. although I've yet to record for this long 3) sony is a tiny bit smaller.. check out their detailed reviews at dpreview.com.. they helped me make my decision..

I have the HS10 and am wondering if the 200EXR is a better buy at just $399. I have heard that they don't make this camera anymore.

Outperforms the 70-300 VR in that is can zoom back to 28mm. That is why it is twice the price. It does not produce better images between 70 and 300mm. I would chose the 70-300 for the longest shots, and the 28-300 for shorter. Both lenses are as professional as the person using them, do not be impressed by reviewers waving wads of bills at you, because like a Violin, a Camera/lens is only as good as the user!

I went through the same dilemma, and while I can't remember all the pros and cons my choice was the 6D. It seemed like the 7D was better for action and video. I already had a crop sensor in my Rebel xsi, and wanted a full frame, plus I was looking for more of an ISO range. Love the 6D. If you are interested in images from this camera I have a Facebook page, Wyoming Willow Sticks. You probably can't go wrong with either camera, just depends on what features fit you. Good luck.

If you can handle manual control, and don't mind minor layout inconveniences, I can't think of any reasons to get 7100 over 5300. With manual control and the right lenses you can do everything 7100 can, and then some.

Thank you very much, ALT, I really appreciate your feedback. Yesterday I ordered the Fuji S1000fd instead. For $231 the 10MP and 12X optical zoom was just unbeatable. Now I've got to find out if I can use filters on it, too. Thank you!

I think both are great cameras...Canon seems to perform a little better, but the difference is very slight, this, according to the reviews I read...I think the bottom line is; Canon performs a little better, the LCD screen can be moved, and it has a hot shoe for a better flash unit, but Panasonic has RAW format and HD video, and also, the zoom can be used with the video format, something most cameras don't have...I guess since both are equally good, you should buy the one you feel more comfortable with, or you like the most...you can't go wrong with either one...Good luck!!

So glad I found this post as I'm in the same boat and just printed out the specs on both cameras. I'm curious as to which camera you ended up getting and how you like it? My original intent was to upgrade from my Canon Powershot due to a long lag time in between being able to shoot the next picture now that my kids are in sports, but I would still like clear nice pictures. What did you get and how do you like it?

d7100 is far better, but its also more money, if you are just starting out 5300 is great, lots of features like toy camera mode, painting mode , it also has wifi and gps built in, my wife is just starting out so I opted for this instead of the more advanced 7100,also d7100 was named most stolen camera in the world!

Hey everyone, I just found a review of a pre-production model of the HS10. It is on Photgraphy Bab web-site. Here's a link to the review!http://www.photographybay.com/2010/02/25/fuji-hs10-hands-on-review/?awt_l=GAUdB&aw;t_m=1eZxHEDHEf62xuIt does give more insight into the camera and a few negatives but the reviewer sure sounded excited by this camera.

Consider the new FZ1000, especially if you have used or own Sony RX10 (sensor size superzoom). I cannot comment on that because I don't own that model, but the GH4 is in a different league because it is interchangeable lens M4/3 lens system. The thing these two have in common is 4K video, although I have read mixed reviews on this technology that you probably admire in the movie theater. Value wise, the FZ1000 looks brilliant. Other than the 4K advantage for video-recording, its closest competitor at the time of this post is the RX10, and I read about this on another site.

Mark, you really can't lose with any of your choices. I guess it all boils down to the features which are most important to you. I can't speak for the S95, as I have only seen other's shots with this camera, but I own the 300hs and my girl and 2 friends have The SX230hs. I am very impressed with them both, but I do like the SX230hs slightly better, because the zoom gets you a lot more flexabillity. I purchased the 300hs over The SX230hs because I had only seen pictures of it before I got my 300hs; from the photos of it, it looked rather large, but after my friend got his, I realized it was pretty small as well.
