I haven't tried the A1000. The image quality of the A590 is very good for a compact camera. The A590 has manual controls, aperture priority, and shutter priority auto settings. I think this is an advantage.

The "IS" is part of the full name for the A1000IS and A590IS, but sometimes people just leave it out. There are not IS and non-IS versions of the A1000[IS] and A590[IS]. Canon's including it into the formal names is useful to distinguish them from some models that lack[ed] IS. For example the earlier A540 lacked IS. The current economy model, the A480, lacks IS.

The "IS" stands for "image stabilization". I think that's what they were asking about.

I haven't tried the A720IS (I assume that's the one you're looking at) but a quick glance at the specs and photos leads me to believe the Powershot SX100IS is easier to control, i.e. it's easier to use manual settings and control the flash. (I always had problems with compact cameras where the flash would go off when I didn't want it, and when I thought I had it turned off. With the SX100IS the flash doesn't go off unless you actually lift it up, so there is no problem with accidental flash. This suits my needs, but might not be important to you.) Both cameras have a similar sensor, both use SD cards, both use 2 AA batteries, and the size and weight are not all that different. Both have face detection and image stabilization, though it's important to consider how important these features are and how easy they are to turn on/off when you need them. Both cameras have a 2.5" screen. The biggest difference I can see, aside from the layout of the controls, is the zoom, and this is a pretty big deal to many people. The A270IS has a 6x zoom, which is already twice the zoom of an average compact camera, but the SX100IS has a 10x zoom which really makes a difference. My dad uses this camera and on a recent family trip he was getting similar shots using the 10x zoom as I was getting on my DSLR with a 300mm lens! So you get a lot more freedom from the longer zoom, and it is ideal for shooting wildlife. I believe the only thing the A720IS can do that the SX100IS cannot is use lens adapters. If this is a concern for you, then you'll want to stick with the A720IS. Otherwise, I highly recommend the SX100IS, but try to test both cameras at your local store even if you plan on purchasing them from Amazon (which I also recommend).

Try looking into a Canon PowerShot A1000 IS. Has a viewfinder...under $150..Also uses AA batteries...another plus..

For certain the Canon A1100IS handles 32 Gbyte SD Memory Cards, that's what I'm using. I also want to affirm that it will handle 64 Gbyte SD Memory cards but can't verify due to dropping my first AS1100IS into Sweetwater River and I'm sure that my 64 GByte card was in that camera. Couldn't fish it out in hopes of recovering the memory card.My wife also has a Canon AS1100IS, that's three of them we have purchased and are pleased with the results. I've had good experience repairing the A1100IS because Canon has a helpful U.S. parts department.

One of the differences that i am aware of in the 2 cameras is the a65 has a plastic body, the a77 has a titanium body. That was the selling point for me. Also i believe the a65 does not have the same megapixel as the a77. All in all i think you get more bang out of the a77, the price difference between the 2 was not that much to sway me from the a77. Feel that amazon has a good price on the a77 and would recommend the a77 any day of the week, very happy with my choice.

I'm not 100% sure as I do not own an a5000, but when I looked up the dimensions, both cameras were listed as virtually identical with the a5000 being a hair smaller.

Why do you say " that the SX10IS will be better for photos" when this is the bottom line of the review you link: Canon's PowerShot SX1 IS has justifiably become one of the most talked-about super-zoom cameras on the market today. It takes the already capable PowerShot SX10 IS with its powerful 20x zoom and articulated screen, but swaps the sensor for a CMOS version which can deliver both HD video recording and fast continuous shooting. As such, the SX1 IS becomes the latest and arguably one of the best hybrid cameras to date, delivering 10 Megapixel stills at up to 4fps with a decent degree of manual control, along with Full HD video in the 1080p format. The SX1 IS is more than just the SX10 IS with HD and fast continuous shooting though. Canon's also fitted an HDMI port to deliver quality output to an HDTV, supplied an infra red remote control to make those HD slideshows even more convenient, and swapped both the viewfinder and screen for wider 16:9 shaped models to better-suit the HD video mode. There's also a digital teleconverter option which can double the reach of the lens without any loss of quality when filming video. The lens motor is also the improved silent mechanism used on higher end cameras and comes with RAW without need to update firmware (my additional comments...the only downside I see is the lower resolution viewfinder but I rarely use viewfinders any more anyway).

The A77 and the A3000 both record the same 1080 24p video. You might also consider the A58, the A77 is weather resistant. the extra pixel count is in the still photographs, not the video . Biggest difference in A77 and A3000 is in build quality, things it can do, the focus system, and size. Stop by a camera store, if you can, and get a feel for the camera. If you only need video buy a dedicated video camera.

Only the A200, A300 and A350. They all share the same basic chassis, later cameras are different.

Well the D5100 cost more so it is a better camera. The main thing is the D5100 use the D7000 sensor, which is best in high ISO and lowlight over any other APS-C dslr (that include any canon like the T3i 60d, even 7D which all used the same old sensor). It has a swivel screen over the D3100. It is a little faster in continuous shooting at 4 fps vs 3 of the D3100, not really a big deal. Otherwise from the major reason here it is the same in a lot on most other specs.http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond5100/page22.asp

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!

Thanks. My only thought about the Canon A590IS is that I probably will not want to get involved in anything other than a full-auto camera, and therefore would it make sense to even consider the Canon A590IS? For myself, the simpler the better, and that being the case, I would probably tend to use the camera more often, though the Canon is such a good deal. Also, should I really be that concerned about the lens issue I have been reading about?

Their pretty much the same....just that the sd600 is rechargeable so that means that you pretty much need to buy a second one if you are goin to travel or just take a bunch of pictures. Secong thing as you mention is that sd600 is slim...so is more portable. The other one just needs AA batteries..I went to walmart and bought a duracell recharger with AA bateries and it charges for 15 min. and you are ready to go.... Bottom line....if you want more pictures, go with the a540...cheaper...same as the sd600

I have searched online for the same comparison b4 i bought both of the two. The thing is, because these two cameras have a lot of features, it takes a while to write or make a video to fully compare the two cameras. I did find some that tried to compare the two camers, but the reviews seemed bias to me. Overall, i like the Fuji over the Canon, but i like the Canons zoom over fuji's. One can still get the same results as the other.
