I am a Canon fan but Ive seen the Sony in action and it beats Canon. The downside is the battery and the memory, it does not work with AA and it only uses memory stick. Canon works with AA which you can get anywhere and beleive me, you will run out your battery when you least expect it and you can work an SD card with other electronics. If you are fine with these issues then Saony is your choice.

I was surprised(I should not be as MacBookpro is also made there!!), to find it states on the camera body label with model # etc Made in China. I did a lot of looking up reviews before I bought this HDR-PJ790V, but no where could I found where it was made. Surprise is because a high end consumer camcorder by Japanese CO Sony being made in China

I really don't know the difference - all I can tell you is that I have really enjoyed my canon wa-h58 lens on my canon hfg30 camcorder - I use it a lot on a lang p04 stabilizer - with great results - I can see no distortion at all - all the corners are great - love the lens

It's a very nice camera but if you have little camera knowledge, another camera would work just as well. I suggest the Sony HX10V, it's a lot cheaper than this camera and the black and red models of the HX10V are made in Japan.

I'd also return it if I saw that it was made in China.One of the main reasons I sold my Fuji s6000, and bought the Canon S5, was because the Canon was made in Japan rather than in China. I have a 4MP Fuji 5100, made in Japan, which IMO takes better pictures than the 6MP Fuji s6000 which was made in China. Also the fit, finish; the entire overall "feel" of the Japanese cameras is far better IMO.

The package I purchased came with a 980MA Canon battery made in Japan and an aftermarket 1480MA not marked with any country of manufacture. After 15 months of use there is no difference in performance between the two batteries other than the 1480MA gives about 30% longer use and takes longer to recharge.

This camera is made in Japan by Panasonic. It is branded Leica but basically a Panasonic DMC LX7K. All specs are the same, the body is almost a clone. The major difference is the superior finish and material feel of the Leica, the Leica name, and the software suite which is more extensive. I bought the Leica because I wanted the Leica name and software but bought the optional Panasonic branded electronic rangefinder eye piece. Save over $100 from the exact same piece with the Leica name on it. Ether way, whether you go whole hog for the Leica or save money with the Panasonic, its a terrific camera with an exquisite lens.

I've always been told to look at the manufacturer's background... Canon are now and have always been in the camera business, while Sony is in the technology business.From experience, I believe Canon makes the better camera for picture quality.

I don't think there is any difference. the "B" at the end usually refers to the color black Not sure what the "V" indicates. Could be just a difference in model # in different world markets. The REAL thing you need to keep in mind is the "X" in the model #. The H400 is different from the HX400. See Sony's website for the differences.

I Googled and found out that there is no difference. Cannon changes camera names for different parts of the world. Google/Bing to verify.

As I understand it the only difference is the bundle package. The camera is the same HX-300 in all cases. I love mine and am so pleased with what this camera can do.

There is no real difference betweeen the two, other than adding the newer digic 4 processor (replacing the older digic 3 processor on the SX110). I don't think this is worth a premium over the SX110. As already discussed in other discussion page, the sensor is slightly smaller (BAD!), and they upped the megapixel to 10 (up from 9 -- almost useless). I really don't understand Canon why they released this camera without anything really worth upgrading from the SX110. I would rather recommend you the SX200, which have much more features, like wide angle, longer zoom, proprietary battery so you can see battery meter on LCD (unlike with the AA batteries), has quicker flash recharge time, speaker is placed on better position, has additional features like color swap, color options like vivid red/blue/green, you can erase part of a movie, and is slimmer. Or, if you want more pro but not going DSLR way, check out the new G11.

how could you recognize that your canon camera is made in Japan and not in somewhere else?

The biggest difference I find is that you can use optical zoom in movie mode with the H2. Also, H2 has Carl Zeiss lens which i think H1 doesn't

I have the original DSC-H20, and we gave the DSC-H20/B to my father-in-law for Christmas. His looks and is almost exactly the same as mine, but it has a few more options in the manual and program modes. Specifically I recall that he had more shutter speeds and focus distances to choose from. Edit: Sorry, I was mislead! My camera was missing some ISO speeds, etc. in the menus for some reason (stopped at 800 instead of 3200). But they just appeared. Must have been a firmware glitch!? :(

Sony informed me within days after registering my new DSC-H20/B they are the same camera and B is for the color Black. It is a good question because you never can tell with thousands if not hundreds of Brand Name Models.
