Thanks for a good list of issues.What did you end up buying? And why? Happy with it?

I am definitely looking toward the x10. Viewfinder, manual zoom, unique sensor geometry. It's almost perfect on paper and the sample images look great.

I have searched online for the same comparison b4 i bought both of the two. The thing is, because these two cameras have a lot of features, it takes a while to write or make a video to fully compare the two cameras. I did find some that tried to compare the two camers, but the reviews seemed bias to me. Overall, i like the Fuji over the Canon, but i like the Canons zoom over fuji's. One can still get the same results as the other.

I do have a choice and I own them both. I take them both on field trips. The S100FS is faster in getting action shots, but the HS30EXR allows me to get closer to my subject. I usually shoot from a tripod using a cable release.

I have been going back and forth with the same question. I have read all the reviews and opinions I can find on both. After going to the local store and playing with the TZ5 and the 100 (since the 110 is not out yet) I did not find many major difference from the point of view of a novice user. The two main difference I noted were 1) the TZ5 is more compact and I really liked that, however 2) when I zoomed in with the canon on a small sign the image was crystal clear, when I did the same with the TZ% the same sign was very blurry, not even close to readable. This decided it for me. I went with canon.

I have owned Canon SX10 IS, and my husband is currently shooting with Nikon P100. I have no experience with Canon PowerShot G11; I own a G9. In terms of image quality, the Fuji trounces both Canon SX10 IS and Nikon P100. Nikon's video quality, on the other hand, leaves Fuji Finepix HS10 in the dust. Shutter lag is average. Fuji can't begin to complete with either of the Canons or the Nikon when it comes to shot-to-shot time. There is a burst mode which takes 3, 7 or 10 shots, depending on which option you've selected, but the write time afterward takes forever. If you're looking for a camera with plenty of action performance, the Fuji is not your best bet. However, if your style, like mine, is to take your time composing between shots, the camera is great. Despite its slow shot-to-shot performance, I appreciate being able to shoot in low light, something the SX10 just doesn't handle well, and I like seeing the details that are smudged by Canon's noise reduction--especially when shooting at ISO 400 and up.

For me it is simply about the good ISO performance and the x-trans sensor. As an owner of a x100s I am familiar with the quality of the x-trans sensor files and there is something special there. Combo that with the good AF, the great EVF, easy access to all the manual settings, and the really good quality lenses, and you've got a winner.

Thank you. I bought the 2sx230 on 11/11/11 and I noticed outside in the bright sun light it captures movement well well and pretty sharp. Inside not so well. I want very much to learn how to use the ISO and how to make great photos using the manual functions. I bought the canon for its size, I will be traveling which is why I wanted a small camera. The shutter speed seemed to be the fastest. Thanks again these comments are very helpful, I'm really looking forward to getting to know my new camera.

There is no real difference betweeen the two, other than adding the newer digic 4 processor (replacing the older digic 3 processor on the SX110). I don't think this is worth a premium over the SX110. As already discussed in other discussion page, the sensor is slightly smaller (BAD!), and they upped the megapixel to 10 (up from 9 -- almost useless). I really don't understand Canon why they released this camera without anything really worth upgrading from the SX110. I would rather recommend you the SX200, which have much more features, like wide angle, longer zoom, proprietary battery so you can see battery meter on LCD (unlike with the AA batteries), has quicker flash recharge time, speaker is placed on better position, has additional features like color swap, color options like vivid red/blue/green, you can erase part of a movie, and is slimmer. Or, if you want more pro but not going DSLR way, check out the new G11.

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.

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.

They've just been introduced! Although the SX1 is being offered overseas, it's only as a preorder. One good reason to pick the SX10 over the SX1: the $300 price difference...

It is very hard to separate the sensor and the EXR modes. Even in some of the "manual" modes under certain settings, the EXR functions will kick in. I will say the x10 is a bit quirky but you can get some very nice images out of it. The Sony has a larger sensor and does have more lines of resolution on Popular Photography's resolution test at its base ISO. Sony has 2270 lines of resolution and the Fuji has 2130. The Fuji earns a low noise rating up to ISO 800 while the Sony only holds onto the low noise rating only through ISO 400. Very similar cameras with similar audiences. I can't really speak to the Panasonic as I have never owned or used one. Popular Photography has a website and has a full review of both cameras. They are very good reviews. May be helpful to you.

I'm assuming you mean the RX100. Both cameras will do a great job; you'll get better lowlight results with Sony but save money with the Fuji. The thing is to take that vacation and shoot, shoot, shoot. Whatever you choose get to know the camera so it "disappears" and you're not thinking about the camera and just shooting. Happy Shopping!

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/

I'm not really an expert here; this is my first Fuji. I'm normally a Canon guy, but I was disappointed with my G9, so I thought I would give the Fuji a try. So far, it has been good.As far as I know, dimensionally, the X10 and the X20 are the same. I bought a lens shade that was designed for the X10, and that works fine.

The FZ28 is a really nice camera -- arguably slightly better than the Canon on image quality and IS and almost certainly better on the UI, where Canon just does a terrible job in some ways. (Who came up with the rotating wheel on the SX10? It drives me crazy every time I have to use it.)The make-or-break feature for me, though, and the reason I went with the Canon, is that the Lumix lacks a hotshoe for external flash. A good off-camera flash gives you so much more versatility in what, when, and how you shoot.
