I had a Fuji and the pics were washed out. Returned it and got the Canon SX110IS and if you want it you will have to pry it from my cold dead hands!...

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.

canon sx110 is is amazing quality. The colors are so vibrant and my husband took some great shots on the football field of the Holiday bowl and also some landscape shots of the cliffs in san diego. The pictures looked like they were taken by a professional. I didn't even have to touch them up in photoshop. We have them playing on our apple tv and it's just great. If I weren't looking to further my photographic expertise and wanted a non-SLR, this would be it.

DO NOT BY THE FUJIFILM!! I did and it's ABSOLUTE CRAP. I get better photos from my old Fujifilm A500, the point & shoot Fuji A500 takes better photos. Light/color and White Balance are crap in the S1000fd. I take photos for my Etsy shop with my Fuji A5oo, it surpasses the S1000fd, which is quite surprising!

I would recommend reviewing the reviews of both cameras on www.snapsort.com/explore. This site provides a comparison of the two cameras and ranks the Canon as #1 and the SL1000as number 8 in the category of superzooms. Snapsort provides a scoring chart for various features of the cameras, and allows an evaluation of the features that are most important to you for each camera.Liz Hancock

I think it's time from start is about standard, I am trying to find something simular out about this camera as well. I do know the FujiFilm S8100fd is simular in price and features and has some real nice fast picture modes where it will take pictures extremely fast but at the faster settings it takes them at less MP (5MP is really fast though) and it will take full res at around 1 second each. Hope that helps.

They are both great cameras it really depends on what you want. We actually purchased this camera in addition to a Cannon Rebel T4. We cruise quite a bit and when going off ship to take the Rebel T4 have quite a big carring case to take the different lenses and with this Cannon powershot SX50 you have one camera dont even need to take a case can just carry it. Also if you are looking for a great zoom this is the best one we have found for the price you would be able to get a lens for the Rebel T3 that would have the same zoom but it would be very expensive. For example we took a picture of the moon with the SX50 and you can see the craters and took pictures of a plane in flight that all you could see with the eye was a white streak in the sky and after going full zoom you can almost read the writing on the airplane. So I would say both are great cameras just depends what you are looking for.

"Neither the SX10 nor SX1 will keep up with any decent DSLR in image quality and surely not in low light, they just don't have the image sensor size"Yes, C. Jones, that is a given! If you want the convenience of a P&S; you have to still give up some of the features of a good SLR...at least for now.

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 ;-)

I spent a lot of time researching and have decided that the wait is worth it (although, unbearable!) The FZ40 is an improvement over the FZ35 as far as startup speed, image quality (not only higher MP, but also a better sensor). The zoom also is worth it to me. If you do some searching, there are a lot of reviews now. The FZ40 also has panoramic, not sure if the FZ35 has that or not.I don't think that the FZ100 is worth the extra 1 hundred. There still is some debate over the quality of the images with the MOS sensor and the 1080 video vs 720 wasn't worth it for me.

my Kodak Z812S...and even my old Kodak DX7630 take better pictures than the Fuji S1800. My first digital was a Fuji with 3.2 mp and it was a honey! Since then, two more Kodaks (as mentioned previously) one Sony (which is purse-sized and the pix are okay...it's just so I always have a camera on me) and the Fuji S1800. I have about 120 out of 200 or so that are great pictures from Hawaii; and maybe 80 - 100 more from various events and locations. My Eastern Europe shots were not what I hoped for, but editing helped a lot. I'm online now to order the Z981 and will probably post my opinion of the results. With all that said...I'd suggest you go with the Kodak.

I am in the same boat, I loved my Powershot but ... I am trying NOT to buy a Canon because of terrible Customer Service I received when it got damp and the lens gasket dropped off. But my Coolpix takes awful pictures 80% of the time. I thought it was me but have since found out it's the camera. I will now look at the Lumix since my nephew also recommended it. Thanks

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.

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

M. Dean, can you elaborate a bit? I'm having the identical dilemma. Never owned a digital camera, and the SX110 looks neat, but am thrown by lack of viewfinder and bulkiness.

When trying to take pictures of kids XF1 seems to be better - flash recycle is less than 2sec and with sony it's 5sec. With kids, indoors, I always use flash. Also, sometimes you want to zoom in/out quickly. Not possible with RX100. However, RX100 has superior LCD (better than any DSLR I've seen) and much better image quality - as a general travel cam, for shooting nature and buildings and streets in normal light it's just much more usable than XF1.Fuji cameras are for enthusiastic photographers. Auto mode on RX100 is far superior and the way it operates. Manual control on XF1 is far better to RX100.

Fuji has inconsistent quality control, which I found when I purchased the F10. The first camera took VERY blurry photos, the second 1/3 and the third maybe 1/5 (in default settings). Don't doubt yourself and your picture snapping skills. If you've read the manual and you are still having problems I would recommend an exchange.

Hello Amy. I see that you've not gotten a reply yet for a few days. I own the Canon SX130is camera that is nearly identical to that of the next version, the SX150is. I even owned the previous model of mine now, SX120is. THe only reason for the upgrade was to get HD video and stereo sound. Other than that, I loved that camera too. I've not studied the others you are deciding on but just looked them over. THere's not a "night & day" major difference between them. Differences of 2x zoom power is not major IMHO. Frames per second in burst mode shooting is. Size may be a factor too. But I can tell you why I like my camera. A manual flip up flash allows unmistakeable control over the flash and keeps the camera from waisting power charging for a flash that you didn't need for that shot. The option of complete manual settings is a must. And the advantage of using AA batteries gives you limitless flexibility of power. Don't let the negative reviews tell you that you cannot take lots of photos with this camera. If you get some high capacity rechargable batteries and enough for an extra set, you'll be good. Several here have recommended Sanyo Eneloop brand cells. That they come precharged and hold that charge for extended periods of storage time. A friend of mine used them and swears by them. I use Ansmann 2850 mAh batteries (which are higher capacity) and they give me nearly 200 more shots in my Canon SX20is than what is rated in the camera manual.

Yes, the SX110 is heavier, and a little larger . . . but I think the 10X zoom makes up for anything. The screen is surprisingly easy to see, even outdoors. I was hesitant to go without a viewfinder, but now it doesn't bother me. That being said, the 590 is an excellent camera, does 80-90% of the SX110 does, and is DIRT cheap if you shop around. But the 10X zoom on the 110 is something I just love, and I'm glad I went with the 110.

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.
