Couldn't really say since I've never owned a Canon.. well pleased with Sony for past 10 years and 3 different models - H2O being my favorite. Compare here - http://www.dpreview.com/camerareviews

Both are excellent cameras. The Canon has been around for a little longer so it has more history. The Sony has a few more features. The Canon printer doesn't make any difference.

I'm an armature photographer.. but have explored both d3100 and a33.. 1) similar image quality.. 2) both do 1080p HD video with auto focus but sony gets a bit warm (hot for some) while video recording.. although I've yet to record for this long 3) sony is a tiny bit smaller.. check out their detailed reviews at dpreview.com.. they helped me make my decision..

I would go for the Canon. I have a Sony, and I'm not satisfied with the quality at all. My friend has a Canon (an older one), but it still takes better pictures. I'm thinking to get one too!

Here's a link to a good review of the the new Canon SX30is as compared the the Panasonic FZ-40: http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-sx30-is/11432.htmlBottom line: for still images, they preferred the new Canon 35x mega-zoom; for video the nod went to the Panasonic FZ-40.

I also have a Canon and am not impressed with it. I just purchased the Sony W170 because I have a family member who used at Christmas. I was impressed with the size and ease of use. I will have to replace all my memory cards and batteries. I am not too upset about the batteries as my Canon Sureshot took about 5 pictures and died. I even bought an extra battery, same thing. I am excited about getting the camera. Should arrive by Jan 6th.

hello... this camera is a wonderful camera, but it's more like my pocket camera. I also own a Canon SX30IS which is a superb camera, not quite the DSLR but comes pretty close. I love Canon as a brand overall and also the fact that you can swipe memory cards and keep the same pictures regardless of which camera you took them with. Both of them are great cameras and are capable of taking wonderful pictures, it's pretty hard for me to say which one is my favorite. Again, it's a personal choice. I can't give you more advice since i'm a beginner in picture taking, but these 2 have made it pretty easy to get on my hobby. Good luck with your new purchase! hello... this camera is a wonderful camera, but it's more like my pocket camera.

Check out the D300s - if it's beyond your budget, get the D90, not the D300- It's outdated. The D90 is an awesome camera. I have it. With the extra cash left, you can buy a lens ;)

This might be too late, but ... I love the A1300. It has a nice quick response and it is small enough to put in a pocket and take backpacking (nice and light). Great zoom and movie feature and the best part is that it still has a view finder so I don't have to use reading glasses when I am taking photos. This is my second camera - I destroyed the last one when I dropped it 10 feet (ALWAYS use the wrist-strap!) OK, so it isn't so great on impact, but everything else is A++++++.

I really like the Panasonic ZS30. I do not have the Fuji f900, although I've heard nice things about it. Google www.dpreview.com. I think they have professional reviews of both cameras. Might also try www.whatdigitalcamera.com. Another good place for professional reviews is www.cameralabs.com. If you go to www.whatdigitalcamera.com, it is a British magazine, and the ZS30 is known as the TZ40 in Europe - same camera. Both the Fuji and the Panasonic are highly rated. Another option to consider - Panasonic has announced that the ZS40 - next upgrade - will be coming out in March. It will have a 30X zoom, RAW shooting, and EVF, and several other new features. Might want to check that one out if you can wait a bit.

I have a Lumix DMC-FZ18 and a Canon SX10. I wanted to buy a camera that was a little better than the FZ18 and wait a little longer for a DSLR. Picture quality on the Canon is not as good as the Lumix. Image stabalization on the Lumix is also noticably better. I have already taken over 300 photos of the same scene with both cameras for comparison. I should have upgraded to the Panasonic DMC-FZ28 as it is getting great reviews from everyone on the web.

buy a canon. This camera is not a point and shoot. Its also terrible for shooting kids!!!

Same question for me. Most reviews seem to prefer the Canon for picture quality, but I'm concerned about the ease of use.

It's suppose to work with most cannon dslr camera's. Powershot a2300 is not a listed compatible model

Based on your criteria, I'd go with the Elph 310. I've been debating between these two cameras and I'm planning on going with the 310. If you can live without the manual controls and RAW support, the 310 seems better to me in a bunch of categories (including price). Here's a little comparison that I put together (please forgive the alignment issues - Amazon took out all my spacing)... S95 Elph 310 zoom 3.8x 8x megapix 10mp 12mp lens range 28mm-105mm 28-224 aperture 2.0-4.9 3.0-5.9 weight 6.88oz 4.9oz sensor type ccd cmos sensor size 7.5x5.5 6.2 x 4.6 manual controls yes no raw support yes no screen 3" 3" boot-to-shot 2.33 2 seconds shot-to-shot 2.78 0.45 shutter lag 0.55 0.3 continuous fps 0.9 3.4 video modes 720p-24fps 1024p-24, 720p-30, 120fsp (slo-mo) flash range 6.5m 4m
