This is different than the 920 in that it has the potential for higher definition video, but it also is very restricted in what software will accept & broadcast that potential. Whereas the 920 is rather plug-and-play, and comes with simple software for adjusting the image, the c930e does not come with any software, and is not useable with many common streaming softwares

Holy guacamole discontinued at B&H; already!? Cannot even imagine what the replacement will do as this guy is really advanced (well maybe wi fi or other fufu stuff). More reason to get the camera with the right feature set to take care of your needs for a while. Checkout Digitalcamerainfo dot com has a great review also which rates this highest amongst Extended Zoom category.PS. 42nd street video has it for $459 today.

Larry, I have done the exact thing you have been doing. I need/prefer optical viewfinders also and can't find one to suit my needs anymore. I wrote an email to Canon about a year ago, when I was camera shopping, asking why they are eliminating it on most of their new (new at that time) Powershots. The reply I got was that they're responding to consumers who are demanding larger LCD screens and don't need optical viewfinders. I replied that they should start reading forums to see how many people are lamenting the lack of viewfinders. Some people don't like to use the LCD because it eats up battery power. Others, like me, live in the desert with bright sunshine that renders the camera pretty useless with only a washed-out LCD screen. I asked the person at Canon to pass on my pleadings to Canon powers-that-be to not eliminate optical viewfinders. I also need a Powershot size with 6x or higher optical zoom for my business use, and I love my A720IS, but that was discontinued in 2008 so I can't buy another. I can't afford $300+ for a new camera. Canon appears to no longer care about consumer comments and just goes with the flow. I have three Powershots, but may have to move on to a non-canon if I can find a camera that better matches my needs. I can't be loyal to Canon if they no longer offer what I'm looking for.

Have you looked at the Panasonic TM 700K? This is the best video and smallest camcorder around for less than $1000. Flash recording is the way to go for Battery consumption. Would not go into the hard drive versions regardless of the brand

PD,Thanks for a really informative review. I'm in the process of trying to make this decision. I'm getting a 70-200. I just don't know which one. On your 2.8 w/o IS, and adding a 1.4 teleconverter, do you miss the IS? I know you said you use a tripod or monopod a lot. Is that how you overcome that? Or do you find yourself still able to shoot hand-held? I'd love to get that combination of the 200 + 1.4tc.Thanks!

David, I posted this question on another site and a person said the only reason they would lean towards the Canon because it has headphone/mic jacks. I, personally, have found that the Canon seems to get better video quality reviews but the downside is that isn't using the default settings. Almost all the reviews says the settings need to tweaked in some fashion. So I am starting to lean towards the Canon.

Jeff:Thanks for responding! I'm glad you like it so much. I think I'll give it a try. I did read a review that said that Fuji didn't think people buying a camera in this category wouldn't want HD video. I guess that makes sense, although it sure doesn't make any difference to me. Thanks again for a nice response.Steve

d7100 is far better, but its also more money, if you are just starting out 5300 is great, lots of features like toy camera mode, painting mode , it also has wifi and gps built in, my wife is just starting out so I opted for this instead of the more advanced 7100,also d7100 was named most stolen camera in the world!

Thanks for the opinion on the LX3, I think I'll wait for one of the these new Canons. Agree with your point on megapixels too, it's seems like 12mp is probably overkill for these small image sensors, so I expect I'll probably crank mine down to 10 or 8 to see if I get less noise. Digic 4 sounds pretty cool too, hopefully that will help.

you are going to need this --&gt;AND&lt;-- ADP-MAC for both the ax100 and cx900....... rip off I know.

Hi, Douglas! I saw what you discussed about the lances and the whole camera and I want to ask you if you have any experiance with Nikon Coolpix 5700 (I have that one) and how is it against Canon DigitalRebel XT? Is it much more I'll "earn" if I switch to Canon? Thank you in advance!Ivan Hristov, Houston, TX

Thanks for the response. In the interim from posting and now I actually purchased a Canon as the gift, but I found a lot of solid information about photo formats and more at CNet.

Good advice W. Smith, except for one thing...Why do you suggest using component video cables from teh acble box to the tv with the 920? Run them to the 920, along with the optical audio. The 920 will upscale for you, and make your regular channels look better.

Thank you for your comment. I found it very helpful. I naturally prefer Canon but really want the wide-angle offered in this Sony camcorder. Canon missed the boat on wide angle in my view.

I'm having the same debate with myself! and as far as I can tell (novice!) the extra mega pixels won't make that much dif and I would rather have better zoom (personal pref) capabilites. I look for the increased ISO range now. From what people have told me, some of these cameras don't do so well in low light and the higher that no. is the better the pic will be with less light-that's if I understood it correctly! BTW, I have decided to get the 890, I believe it's the wide angle one of the two! good luck and enjoy-think about a warranty of some type-that was also encouraged by my photo buddies!
