Kodak Easyshare Z712 vs. Fujifilm Finepix s700

You also need to consider that Z712 uses their own custom LiIon batteries that look like AAs but are not. They give you a disposable set with the camera. If you need rechargeables for the Z712 it will set you back another $50 since you need to then buy batteries as well as the charger.

I'm certain that both above mentioned cameras produce excellent images. They both have high resolution 3 inch screens, but to say P7000's images are better because they look better on the camera's LCD screen is akin to saying one blonde looks better than the other one from 100 yards out. You can't really make a meaningful comparison until you've uploaded the files to the computer and view them under magnification.

I have an SD1000 and just returned from Vegas where I took over 400 pics. Filled a 1G card and still had battery left. I find that the battery lasts longer with the image screen off. Don't know if the 1200 can do this. Cannot see the screen in daylight anyway. The 1200 has a nice viewfinder and the image is bigger than the viewfinder image, a good feature when cropping at home.

The ZS20 is generally considered very inferior in image quality when compared to *anything else*. ZS15 would be better if you want a pocketable camera.

Greetings Ms. Gabrielle Z. In looking at the web site of fujifilmusa [I found the brochure and booklet for the S1500 I presume Finepix. It states that the camera takes sd card 2gb/ and sdhc cards of 4gb and 8gb. It has a graph of dimensions of j peg 3648 fine/ j peg normal/ etc. I would now use the 8gb. If you can you can buy up any 2 gb you find. Prices are going up on them. Maybe use the class 4 sd & or check with fuji support for additional directives. Possible damaged card. check on it, wipe clean the metalic pieces with clean soft cotton shirt gentlly fog it n wipe. Good Luck. Steve

Cant really answer this as I have not seen images from FZ70. I did read reviews and to my recall the image quality was not up to snuff. However, it all depends on how you will use it. I have been getting great quality photos for the X-S1. Here is a link to my images (mainly from X-S1) http://www.flickr.com/photos/110260652@N04/ . I did look at the FZ 200 which again has the smaller zoom, but is much higher rated for image quality.

Roger,The P7800 was purchased to replace a Coolpix S710. It is our 4th Nikon digital camera. My wife has the D70S which she loves, but is just too bulky for everyday use. I do not know anything about the S9300. I would say that the P7800 can shoot pictures almost as good as the D70. I am not sure what type of picture taking you like to do, but we have found the P7800 to be about the best all-around digital camera. Meaning it takes great pictures in a dim environment, daylight, inside, close up, far away, just a great all around camera. I hope this helps.Gary

The SD780 is made in Japan; big difference when you hold them in your hand. The SD780 is metal casing and higher quality parts vs. the flimsy SD940, which I sold on Ebay. The pros say the SD780 shoots better too. I didn't notice a lot of difference, though the 28mm was a neat feature. Both HD video quality appeared to be the same.

As far as camera quality and picture quality, etc, they are equivalent?I purchased the T700, didn't realize there was a T77 available. I am considering returning and getting the T77 because of the price.

Funny, I was just looking at the two cameras myself and ended up purchasing the SD880IS.The SD880IS is slimmer (0.9 vs. 1.1) and has a bigger LCD screen (3.0 vs. 2.5). Granted, the SD880IS gives up a little in terms of optical zoom (4.0 vs 5.0) but that's the price you pay for having a slim compact camera. I wanted something above the run of the mill 3x optical zoom cameras out there and the 4x SD880IS fits the bill, even if I had to pay $50 extra over the price of the SD890IS. And FYI, the SD880IS is a newer camera, hence the "better" DIGIC 4 Image Processor over the SD890IS's DIGIC III Image Processor.

I agree, this camera looks good for someone like me who wants great pictures from a more user-friendly camera than a bulky DSLR. You can compare it to the S6000 on Fuji's website. The few things I noticed was the weight - 7 ounces lighter - and the dual memory card slot that eliminates the need to buy special cards. It also has mechanical image stabilization that was missing from the S6000. Somebody with experience should check it out and repost what they find.

I had a same dilemma, but settled with FZ8 which I love. Comparing pictures , FZ18 didn't wow me enough for worth $80 more. Looking at two "Birds of paradice" by Tahir J. Naim(on FZ18 page)-which one of them was taken w/FZ7-, you can't tell there is much difference. Or the moon photos. One thing is though, while I do have some great shots of portraits, in general, it is not so satisfying. That's only thing that I want to see how good "face detection" is on FX18. Other than that FZ8 takes great scenery pics in my opinion which I take most anyway. Like you(MazeDancer), I'm thinking of buying a bigger sensor, a DSLR in a year or two, so this camera(FX8) will do enough job for me for now. I had a same dilemma, but settled with FZ8 which I love.

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 own the older sd700is and it is a great little camera. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the digital elphs.If I were to replace it today I would get the sd880is because of the wide angle lens.

Following my initial post I found a comment from Kodak explaining the differences vs the Zi8. It seems that aside from touchscreen (if you really want it), the only real differences are a wider-angle lens and supposedly better low-light performance. I think I'll wait for a few reviews from people who actually buy it before investing on this update.PS: Like the Zi8 it also takes an external mic

I bought the same Kodak ZD710 at Walmart for $149.99 about a year ago. I've been very pleased with it. I love the optical zoom and high resolution of the photos. I haven't had any issue with noise in the photos at all. I work in the graphics industry and use this on a professional level. Being a designer though it also means I inevitable photoshop nearly all the pictures I take. But am happy with my ZD710
