S1 vs G1 vs LZ800 Anyone know the difference between this, the LZ800 and the G1?

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.

To Wastedyrs: I suggest the older model is more-expensive simply because it IS older....each new generation of chips, digital TVs, etc, are significantly cheaper than prior ones. No exceptions I know of, unless you account for higher functionality or features.

Warren,I cannot decipher any difference between the 2 models listed. I think they are one in the same. That said, if the merchant told you that it is better than its predecessor, that may indeed be true--if he is comparing it the 61/71 series or the 65 series from last year's model line. But even Samsung's website doesn't mention the S2F being any sort of an upgrade or anything like that.I've been looking at the A860 for a while. The slim depth plus its couple extra features make it a bit more attractive than the 6 or 7 series lines.

Canon says that the G1 is not the successor to the G12. So it looks like they are planning some sort of refresh of the G12 (and they should). What that will involve and when it will come out remains top secret, apparently. Canon must be taking a page from the Apple playbook on this....

I think the x1 series is the budget plasma line. The s1 (according to cnet : http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/panasonic-tc-p50s1/4505-6482_7-33490479.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody ) has a newer, more energy efficient panel. The g10 series has some internet connectivity features and a THX mode which calibrates the tv for optimum viewing quality. The tv reviewers at cnet.com seem to like all 3 lines.

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.

I had the G11, and can say that the G15 is MUCH faster on focussing. I think the G12 is pretty much the same as the G11 in that respect. I haven't done any side by side comparisons yet, but first impressions just going from memory, the G15 photos are better in both sharpness and overall color than my G11. Again, I'm not sure the G12 was, sensor-wise, the same as the G11, but I can say I'm much happier with the differences between the G11 and G15. Hope that may help some.I believe also that the G15 is the first of the G series that can optically zoom while taking video. That's a big plus in my book, and the video from the G15 is outstanding.

Inside your home, while using the flash, your photos will be fine. The video is not so good. I own both the G11 and the more expensive G1X. G1X would be much better for the videos, and the photos would be wider in the 1080 format. G1X however is terrible for macro photos, (Close up). G1X is also larger and harder to fit in a pocket. As long as you have all the lights on in the room. The G11 will be fine.

I own the 880, G10, and also the 990. The G10 and 990's images seem to have more clarity than the 880, and I had virtually unnoticable noise in my night light shots of Las Vegas. Both the G10 and 990 have more megapixels (almost 15), but they also have the same larger sensor to accomodate the pixel increase. If you want one a bit larger with more control, buy the G10. If you love the G10, want basically the same image quality, but want something more compact, you might want to consider the "baby sister", the 990 .

I am confused whether to buy G12 or SX210. Which one gives better pictures ?

The G1.1 is the newest model. The features and benefits are largely the same but the brand logo is different.

Sorry - I know nothing about the G1n. The G1on is very good, though. Intuitive, and the looper and drum patterns are a bonus. Sorry I can't he;p further. Howard.

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.

Brad - I don't think you can go wrong with either camera. Add to for your consideration the Sony HX5 - it's on a par with these two. I looked long and hard at all 3 of these, researching specs and comments, as well as trying them out in camera stores, etc. I finally chose the S8100, although only coming out in September the amount of reviews is sparse - but even compared to the S8000 earlier model the improved S8100 proves to be a great camera. One thing I really like is the heft and feel of the camera, as well as the professional and high quality look and detail of the camera. It's a joy to take photos with this camera. The photos from it are stunning.

I usually shoot with an Olympus E-P1. The GX1 focuses at least twice as fast, but then I am usually doing landscape or portrait shooting, so the GX1 speed advantage is not that important to me. However, I feel the GX1 firmware produces a softer (some might say "creamier") output on both jpg and raw images, so I usually reserve it for portraits of humans and continue to use the E-P1 for the bulk of my work. If you are interested in shooting sports, the fast focusing of the GX1 is far superior to the E-P1, which is next to useless for that application (unless you prefocus and wait for the shot).

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.

Go to KenRockwell.com for his reviews of both cameras. Rockwell thinks that the S90 is a tad better because of the super fast f/2.0 lens and a compact size that makes it easy to always have a camera with you. The G11 takes equally fine photos, but f/2.8 is not as useful for indoor photos without flash...and the larger size and heavier weight mean you probably won't carry a G11 with you 24/7.

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.
