How is sx240 compared to sx260? Specs seem to be the same except for gps. In my country we don't have sx260!

Sorry. I am not familiar with sx240 to give you any comparison information.

I have both. Very little difference. Both are excellent for a point and shoot!

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 got confused reading the reviews in the search engine over this, and I almost bought the wrong model. This camera (HX400V) is NOT the same as the H400, and reviews about this camera compared with the Sony website is a bit confusing. One reviewer said they are both the same except for GPS, which is incorrect. The basic model has a 63x zoom, and no GPS or WiFI, and some other features are missing, but the HX 400B/V is the high end model with the Carl Zeiss 50x lens, (better glass, lower f/stop) the Wifi, GPS and the upgraded capabilities.

I didn't like the image quality of either of them. I think the sensor is too small. The s120 is better than the s110 with faster focusing and a better sensor. I may consider spending a little more for the Sony rx100 with a bigger sensor (price dropped).

The new G11 is an improvement over the G10. But I don't think it's on the same level as the LX3, mainly because of the lens. I think the upcoming Canon S90 is a direct competitor to the LX3. It has a small and compact form factor like the LX3. And it has a fast f/2 lens like the LX3. However, it doesn't have a hot shoe. And it doesn't shoot HD video. And no viewfinder either. I've had the LX3 since the beginning of the year. And I plan on selling it after the S90 comes out. The LX3 shoots fantastic low light pictures. But daylight pictures are average. I think Canon has the better image processor overall. Also, the auto focus on the LX3 seems slow to me. My other gripe is that menu system isn't intuitive on the LX3. Canon cameras are extremely easy to use and changing the settings is a breeze. I love the exposure and ISO dials on the G10 and G11. It's a much better/easier camera to operate. But the size is a little too big for me, as a daily carry-around camera. And it still has a somewhat slower lens. I just think it's odd that Canon gave the S90 a fast lens, but not the G11. Maybe they'll get it right on the G12?

I wouldn't. I returned this one and currently have the SX280, which I like better. I have not used a camera in a business way so cannot advise you.

Sorry, this post was really old! But in case you tracked it, how do you like the S200exr? I have the HS10 but am wondering if the latter would have been a better choice for sharper pictures.

I was just debating the SX20 vs SX30, so I was really glad to find this discussion. I assumed the 30 would be an improvement, but it sounds from this discussion and many customer reviews that 20 is a better choice for image quality.

If you read all the questions and reviews, you'll find battery life was impossible for some and acceptable with others. I personally chose the SX280 and determined to test the battery life before the 30 days were up by taking sets of 6 stills/4 stills with flash/1 2minute movie clip (with slow zoom at beginning to about 5X), and then return the camera if it turned out badly. The good news is I made it to the end of 10 sets, so Im satisfied. I really wanted the 280 over the 260 because of the many improvements the new DIGIC processor provides (better low light performance, faster pre-shot setup time, maybe anti-shake is improved also). I am really enjoying the flash-off indoor shots I'm getting in available light.

Comparing the GPS in a camera to that of a smartphone or Garmin isn't really fair. They use different methods to determine your location. To be fair, you would have to compare the GPS feature in similar cameras. I don't think the GPS in the SX230HS is any better or worse than most other cameras with GPS. Incidentally, I haven't had a problem with anything getting tagged correctly, even indoors.

Thanks, John. Now if only I had pockets big enough both to purchase the S5 IS *and* to hold its bulk. :-/ So I guess I'm still wondering: Just what the heck IS the reason none of the pocket-size digi-cams seem to allow zooming in video mode? Too expensive? Too noisy? Simply not possible due to some technical constraint? If anyone has a good answer, I'd still like to know. Thanks for the good discussion so far...

I really couldn't tell you that without more information. Could be the seller difference. Could be that the un-bundled camera has GPS, as some do. I really don't know. Sorry.

The SX120 at ISO 800 and 1600 is way better than the SX110, this is the biggest difference I've seen. Search for some reviews that have the same shots at ISO1600 for both cameras and compare the two side by side and it'll jump out at you. I'm not so sure the slightly smaller sensor has much difference, sensor technology improves very slowly too, so maybe it has better signal to noise ratio even though it's more MP on a slightly smaller surface area.I don't like the SX200 for a bunch of reasons, the always up flash is annoying.

I liked all the features the camera had to offer, but when viewed on my 17 laptop screen the images were a bit fuzzy, and that is before any enlargement to them. I am going to look at buying the SX280 camera. Size wise, I find my current A2000is very convenient for everyday carry around as would also be the case for the SX160.

not sure i understand why the 920 blows away the 370. Why are they about the same price on amazon? besides the maps each supports are there any other key differences? I want to know which is more user friendly and which maps are more accurate. I'm moving to Europe (Switzerland) and want to know which would be best for what I'm buying it for (getting from point A to B with as little stress as possible.)

Sorry, haven't had the opportunity to try and compare the SX1is to the other two models.I'll tell you this though, after taking the SX30is for a test run there is NO WAY I would keep it over my SX20is when it xomes to the discussion of image quality.

What did you end up getting? I had the same dilemma but choose the 790 for its picture quality. It's a great camera and am very pleased with the results. I had fun with it right out of the box, but must confess I am a manual freak, so I did study it before the camera even came. www.steve-digicams.com posts reviews and sample pictures if you want more info. For me, it's a perfect little P&S; for your pocket.

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.
