S1 vs G1 vs LZ800: Anyone know the difference between this, the LZ800 and the G1?
1419962
No. But I wish I did because I can't figure out why the LZ800 is more expensive even though it appears to be the older version with the G1 replacing it.

I'm running the same research and here's the comparison, WX1: in addition to the HD video, its 24mm wide angle is precious in daily shootings (indoors, group pics, ...). It also has 5x zoom. And the CMOS sensor is supposed to be a notch better than CCD. The build quality is good and it's smaller than S90 except the thickness. It's also $100+ cheaper than S90. Battery life is rated at 350 shots v. S90's 220. S90: Manual everything; RAW; F2@28mm; SDHC card; external flash. The DSLR advantages have been the interchangeability for lens and flash. S90 takes another bite on those claims while providing the convenience and accessibility. If you're going up from Point&Shoot, WX1 is the winner; If you're going down from DSLR after the form factor, you'll miss less features with S90. Either is a great camera that will take wonderful pictures in the right hands.

Hi, I don't really know what the difference is between the 1 and 2. I'm not even sure which model I have, although I assume it's a 2. I've had it since early 2012 and I think the 2's came out in 2011. I looked up the images online and, frankly, I can't tell the difference either. Sorry, I know this isn't much help.

Hello Kim, I have had the Garmin S1 for several weeks now and have enjoyed using it. It has helped my game and gives me all that I need - accurate yardage to the front, center and back of the green. I am about a 17 handicap golfer and I do not need the additional features of the S2 and S3 which provide more information to include distance to hazards on the S3. The S2 is maybe $70 to $80 more than the S1 and the S3 maybe another $100. I need glasses to read the small print and appreciate the S1 with the large display of numbers. I could not effectively use the other models without putting on my reading glasses which I do not want to do while playing golf. I hope that helps - Have fun - Jack Hello Kim, I have had the Garmin S1 for several weeks now and have enjoyed using it.

I am an amateur photographer myself and I have both the S95 and the G12. I purchased the G12 to replace my G7 that died. I absolutely LOVE the S95 (the S100 is the newer model) and hate the G12. The picture quality on the S95 is far superior. I take alot of action horse riding photos and the S95 does better. The G12 produces blurry, grainy (when zoomed in) photos. I also don't use all the bells and whistles of the G12. I wish I could purchase the G7-it was a fantastic camera-the G12 disappoints. I hope the S100 is as great as the S95 because I want another one! I hope this helps!

I'm not sure about specific differences but my husband bought the s1 for me because I wanted something that simply gave me the distance to the hole. I think the s3 probably will tell you about distance to various hazards. This GPS is handy because it is always with you - you don't have to go back to your cart or drive the cart across the fairway in order to get a reading. His GPS gives readings to some of the hazards - so I can ask if I need that information. Don't know if that helped - I guess you just need to think about what info you need. If I was a better golfer I might want more bells and whistles, but right now I am content with my s1.

Good question, but I haven't use the G1N, that I can recall. I have use analog, and digital effects and a combination of those for years. The G3 has enabled to retire those things. In fact with a little Crate Power block, I can basically leave my amp at home or the recording studio. I now have a powerful combo, easy to carry and sounds great a little quieter with all the options I had before and only have to use two patch cords.

I have had several G series (G7 and G9) and am now working with the s90. Although these are earlier models of the ones you are looking at, the general pros/cons remain the same. The positive for the S90 is that it is great for low light (F 2.0 and in-between ISOs of 125 and 160).The bad news is that the image quality of the s90 is just not the same as the G series. Prints that are crops or over 24x30 inches have too much pixellation to be exhibited professionally. However, if you print at 8x10 inches or smaller, the s95 should be fine for you.As for me, I'm planning on returning to the G series with my next camera purchase.

I assume you mean the S390G? The only differences I'm aware of is the "G" has a 2 Megapixel Camera while the "C" only has a 1.3 Megapixel Camera. Also, the "G" is Wi-Fi compatible. There may be others, but I'm not sure.

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.

The firmware are different and so is who you change from L2 to L3, the SG300 series are faster than SG200 series and there should be a comparison chart you can look at.

Have only used it with the J1. Lens is awesome and the color red matches perfectly with the J1. Don't know about the S1 compatibility.

I believe the main difference is the battery in the S1 which allows you to use it without a cord. However, I have found the battery life to be short- I still need to carry the plug with me to work; I seem to be able to pump only once per charge.

I bought one a few months ago and it is indeed the newer version with the updated firmware and charger. Video is seamless and smooth up to 720 resolution. At 1080 the framerate drops and things get iffy. Judging by what I've read, the G Sensor is the only real difference between this and the GS.

It would be hard to imagine that Canon could duplicate the optics in the G11 in a package the size of the S90 without at least some minor trade-offs. From what I've read online, the S90 uses onboard processing to correct barrel distortion, which isn't a problem on the G11.Still, from what I've read, the side by side results after onboard processing are almost indistinguishable. I think it really just comes down to personal preference (G11's extra features/customizability vs. S90's compact size).

I do not have the S1800 but have compared it to the Fine Pix 650EXR. The General Imaging to me makes better stills. I have taken video with both but personally do not see a difference. I like the AA batteries in the GE but the arrangement is such that if you change the SD card and are not careful, the batteries will fall out. The thing I like better about the Fine Pix is that you can take pictures or videos without turning the selection knob, you just push a different button. The Fine Pix is also smaller. Were it not for the AA batteries to ensure I could keep it running in Europe, I would not have purchased the GE. I do not have the S1800 but have compared it to the Fine Pix 650EXR.

Significant difference between the two cameras - if you have the opportunity exchange them. Big differences are Much improved video, Weight, Quality of photos, Options - The SL! is basically the identical camera to the T5i in a much smaller package - Basically the SL1 is 2 to 3 generations newer than the T3 - I had a T1i and When the T3 came out I did not upgrade as it offered few advantages over the T1i. I have the SL1 - Love it - a significant upgrade.
