some one mentioned that the memory card used with the canon 1000is cannot be erased with the canon software. can anyone verify this?

I too am weighing the pros and cons of these two and appreciate you starting this trend. My concern is primarily regarding pictures taken at night. Looking forward to reading more replies.

I've been comparing them for 2 months and finally bought the 1000IS because:1. It has a rotating wheel on top to change from auto to programmable to movie and all other modes. The review button is on the back.With the 1200 it is a rubber slider and movie mode is in between shoot and review. With my old Canon, I was always getting back to the hotel room out of battery life and discovering it was because in going back and forth between review and shoot mode I had slipped into movie mode and had lots of footage of my feet walking around while sight seeing. Hopefully this can't happen now. I've been comparing them for 2 months and finally bought the 1000IS because:1.

beware of the 1200 IS. Google: "Lens error. Restart camera+1200" and find out how many people are having trouble wih this camera. There is an entire net community of us.

The Canon applications that come with the A1000 IS will not delete the photos directly from the SD memory card. The Canon Utilities: CameraWindow DC is the application that is used to transfer images fromt he camera to the computer. It does not have a delete option and the delete key on the keyboard does nothing. When in this program, the buttons on the camera can be used to scroll through the pictures. The Trash Can button on the camera is disabled when in this mode. ZoomBrowser EX program allows you to delete the pictures once they are in the computer however it does not allow you to directly look at the photos on the card. A separate card reader would be a better option. The Canon applications that come with the A1000 IS will not delete the photos directly from the SD memory card.

I think the 870IS's shutter speed is also a bit faster and more responsive between shots than the 800IS. Also, the 870IS is about 1/8 inch slimmer than the 800IS and a few ounces lighter. Image quality would be about the same but the extra 1 megapixel difference is significant for large photo developers. Also, the black version of the 870IS offers MMC compatibility in addition to SD/SDHC which may be important for select few people who has a few MMC cards lying around.

I too am deciding between these two cameras. From what I have seen so far the differences are:A710 IS - 6x zoom- Digic II processorA570 IS-4x zoom-Digic III processorI have also read some stuff on the net about people stating the DIGIC III is better on power, giving you more shots per battery. I don't have a source to back that up though. I can't see why people would pay $80 more for an OLDER camera just for the 6x zoom. It's a point and shoot, not an SLR or high end camera such as one would bring on a vacation if they really needed to zoom into a wide view. Just my .02Are there any other differences? anyone?

In most ways, the Fuji is the better general purpose camera: better EVF, better LCD, far better rubbery grip, slightly better battery life, better video, and a $70 or so lower price tag as a bonus. The SL1000 also has the panorama mode that Canon still ignores as well.

Yes, back to your original post. I guess the sx1 is for those wanting the benfits of a CMOS sensor, greater zoom (over the sx200 which looks like a great pocket camera), true 1080p HD video, and standard AA battery usage (rechargable, of course, but standard in a pinch), and RAW+JPEG, all things I like very much.p.s. on that review site above the image quality of the rebel xsi is quite inferior to either the sx1 or sx10!

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.

I have owned the Canon Powershot S1, S3, and S5. The larger the capacity of the battery, the faster the recovery time between shots. Faster SD memory also affects the recovery time. Shorter recovery time = more shots per minute. Cameras/devices that use AA/AAA batteries also give you more choices for theft, emergencies, and disasters.

I contacted canon and you can send to their repair center. I slammed my camera on the floor and the screen went dead. Still took great pics, but unfortunately couldn't see what I was shooting since there is no viewfinder. To repair and shipping it was $110 so I opted not to because the Canon 1100 is now $140. I love my camera. Always took the best pictures. I bought the SX110 and had to return that. Way too professional. I haven't tested it out in the store but does anyone know if the 1100 is the same size as the 750?

Don't have any S-series cameras, but as a general comparison to the other Canon PowerShot cameras we have used in the $250-300 range I would say Canon has a better charger, better focusing for outdoors (P340 seems to try to focus on leaves when trying to take a photo of a building), similar battery life, and worse flash re-charge time. The Canon might be better on shutter release lag and simplicity of controls.

I have the Xsi and I love it. Think about whether or not it's worth $250 extra just to have video and 3 more megapixels. The Xsi has 12.1 megapixels, but that's still enough to make a good poster sized print. I think those are the two biggest differences in the two cameras, so just decide whether or not those extras are worth the extra cash. Good luck! :)

Size is a big difference for me. The A710IS is a bit larger. Also, the top ISO for the A710IS is only 800. Also, I believe the A570IS has video capability while the A710IS does not.I was debating between the A570IS, A710IS, and SD750, and finally settled on buying the A570IS because of it's size, performance, relative ease of use, cost, and batteries.

They don't sell the SX240 in my country! But as far as I can tell from a bit of research, the cameras are identical except for the GPS. I continue to think highly of my 260! I don't know whether they'll let me insert a link in a reply, but you can find comparisons of the two cameras on the Internet. Here's one: http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_PowerShot_SX240_HS_SX260_HS/

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.

Based on the Canon T1i review provided by dpreview.com, D5000 has better picture quality in indoor and low light condition. D5000 has better white balance measuring than T1i. If you looking for picture quality, then D5000 sounds great and cheap. If you looking for LCD and build-in moter, then T1i has the edge.

I've also heard that the 870 has better picture stablization. I'm disappointed that the comparison chart on Canon.com does not identify the differences very well. I'm struggling with the same question between the 2 cameras.

Check out the links below for reviews on both. you can compare the sample photos side by side. also the Sony high iso looks better. personally I think that the Sony has warmer more vibrant color although the night shot looks better on the Canon. I just ordered the Sony so we shall see. I also like the looks of the Sony better. well, good luck in your search.http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_w55-review/index.shtmlhttp://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_sd1000-review/index.shtml

I just read your posting and it has been a month since you put it up so I don't know if your still interested in a comparison, so I will keep it brief. I got the X100 in July and the S95 a year ago but by coincidence I just took some test shots in the back yard this morning to compare the two as I will be using both at a BBQ on Sunday. The S95 looks good until you see it next to the x100. The X100 is the first digital camera I have owned where the photos look a bit more real than the other digital cameras I have used. I also have a Nikon D7000 and did some test shots while on vacation using it and the Nikon 12-24mm lens ( set at 23mm) and the X100 looks better, sharper than the $1000 Nikon12-24 lens. There are some down sides as is mentioned on many websites, but you can get used to them, or at least I did. On the video, I like the S95 by far as it is easier to get usable footage. The X100 is sharper and cleaner by a little bit, but the focus is not as good as the S95. The X100 is a great camera for what it is, and I really like mine.
