How does the BMP21 Plus compare to the BMP in terms of handling and usability. I have the BMP21 and an old IDPal. The BMP21 is uncomfortable.

I have used the bp21 plus daily for about a month and it is much more rugged and just as user friendly as the bp21

Thanks Janet, I kinda knew that, but was surprised that you would be using p&s.; I would love nothing more than to stick with a p&s;,but the shutter lag (for shooting puppies/dogs in motion)(low-key professionally) is KILLING me. Is it true, there is no p&s; with a truly shorter shutter lag?p.s. not to mention a big ol' black SLR scares heck outta puppies!

More bang for your buck will be the XTi, since it is cheaper and you honestly won't get much better photos from the 40D. However, if you can swing the money, I wholeheartedly recommend the 40D. I recently upgraded from the XT to the 40D. The additional controls make it so much easier to change settings, the larger size feels more balanced, etc etc. However, the XTi is a great camera, and don't feel bad about buying that either! It's a nice upgrade from my XT, which I loved for 2 years. You honestly can't go wrong with either one. Go to a store and handle each and see if one feels better in your hands than the other.

Well, that's kind of my point. Why get the SX1? It's going to be too big to have the p&s; convenience, and the quality won't even be close to even the Rebel (especially if they release a new one in the next 6 months.The SX200IS should be small enough to carry everywhere, and have close to the quality of the SX1.As much as the SX1 interest me, I'm having trouble figuring its place in my, or others, camera needs.

I recently purchased this camera. I fully agree with the success of the firmware updates. I tried a P7000 from a local retailer when it was first introduced but returned it. I can attest to the improvements being REAL and VERY EFFECTIVE. I would like to add I recently shot some comparison photos with my P7000 and my D300 with the 18-200 VR Nikkor zoom. I haven't downloaded to my computer at this point but the on camera screen appearance of the photos on the backs of each camera gives the edge to the P7000!!! If you find that hard to believe...so do I. I'll do more shots, download to my computer and report the results. I recently purchased this camera.

I (mostly) love my T4i. I also have an XTi and a 50D. My one minor complaint is that it has the Rebel's lower magnification viewfinder, and not the bigger, easier to see viewfinder of their higher grade crop-sensor cameras. It does just about everything else better than either of those other bodies I mentioned, and I'm almost exclusively using it now. I love the touch screen. I was out last evening shooting the comet, and I was making adjustments on the screen using fingerless gloves, which would have been clumsier using the buttons and wheel.

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.

You get more bang for the buck with the XTi, however, that wasn't the reason I went with the 40d (originally purchased a 20d a few years ago). The size of a Rebel is a bit too small for my hands and it felt really uncomfortable when I held it. Also, after using a 20d/40d, I couldn't give up the two wheel selectors for speed of adjustments without going through menus. But as with any item like this, it all goes back to what you are comfortable with and what works for you.

I just bought the V3. It does have great resolution. I transferred all of my older 2D pics to a card for it as well as my 3D pics. I have no problems with it at all. Resolution is great. Hope this helps.

iPad- much better -does not have the issues / problems thie Polaroid had - this model of the Polaroid had major issues ( at telecast the one that I Had) including screen going totally gray after only few months of use.

Actually, I stopped using it about three months after I bought it. The system ran too slow for me, so I spent a lot of time waiting for pages to load. It also had a habit of locking up, so I'd have to unplug it and plug it back in to restart. It has a poorer experience rating than a Motorola Droid X2, in my opinion. Though; not as glitchy as the X2, it's close enough not to be pleased. That coupled with it not being snappy and the fact you can't block ads and redirects makes an irritating experience. Mind you, this is based on my experience with this device approximately 10-12ft away from the a/b/g/n router. Also, I should add that a friend of mine bought one as well and did not have the same functionality. She couldn't install adobe Flash and therefore couldn't play .flv files. In my opinion, these things need to go back to R&D. Then upgrade all the components and re-release it. If it were as snappy as and iPad Gen1 or Samsung Galaxy S3 and charged $200-250, it would be worth it. Hope this helps..

The X20 has a slightly different sensor that is suppose to be slightly sharper but the differences are very small, as to be virtually undetectable. Some people like the X10 better then the 20 because it has a more sophisticated and feature rich Contrast Control setting. The lens is exactly the same. I was dissapointed that there wasn't more of a difference. Oh ... the X20 displays some of your exposure settings in the optical view finder. But a lot of folks don't even use the optical view finder and instead just use the excellent monitor. It was pretty much of a waste for me to "upgrade" from the 10 to the 20 ... but my son enjoys inheriting the 10. :-) The X20 has a slightly different sensor that is suppose to be slightly sharper but the differences are very small, as to be virtually undetectable.

Don't forget about the layout of the controls and how that affects thumb placement for one hand shooting. I have handled both and the 870 was very frustrating to figure out where to place my thumb without blocking the corner of the screen or bumping into the touch sensitive wheel. This frustration factor alone is driving me away from the 870.

Great question. The version I bought was blister-packed. It also is incredibly unreliable. I'd keep searching.

My is B6 and it's excellent. Difference between B6 and B7 are listed in their specs. It seems to me that B6's micro is a better one.

Now, here is a kicker. On BH site it shows as DISCONTINUED! So what's the replacement if it's the case? I was hesitant to pull a trigger a couple of weeks ago when price was around $435 and obviously have missed the opportunity. However, if this is already an old model, I am very interested in a replacement.

Personally I don't see enough difference between my 1st generation and the last to warrant a change. If photo quality is your concern then maybe it's a difference. I have photos and they are more than good enough for me. Like I said, what are you using it for and what apps are most important to you (personal preferences). I haven't found anything that I wold consider to be a show stopper between the first and last. I prefer the first, second and third generations size and sturdiness to any after that.
