Canon Powershot A1000 vs A1100: Has anyone compared these two models?
585985
Consumer Reports rated both with the older model outscoring the 1100, 71-65.

Graphics should be better on the A10 and that will probably be more noticable that the frequency bump on the A8. So if you really want to stay at the $100 price point, I would go with the A10. For a few $$ more you can get the A10 with the higher freqency and get the best of both worlds.

thank you for your feedback. I am using the cx100 a lot these days, just bought the 8gb memory stick recommended in the owners manual and works great as well. Also per manual, you have to tell the cam to work off the internal vs stick memory.Nice to know we can get info hits 10 weeks later that are emailed to us.--LarryOC

I don't have the 100 or the 300. My last one was the 500HS. It is smaller now and lighter. The night picture without the flash are all nice. I took lots of them during the Holiday lights event, and they all very clear. Also it has anti shaking mode, it snaps and processing very quick so much less blurry when moving. I think that is a major difference for this camera. Battery life is very short that is the only draw back to me. I like it overal all but be sure to get extra battery.

I am leaning towards SD1000 as well. I find it hard to justify the $100+ extra for an SD870 IS for only marginally better, and rarely used features:SD1000 v/s SD870 IS (using the Product Comparison on the Canon site):* pixels: 7.4MP / 8.3 MP* focal length: 35-105mm / 28-105mm* Shutter speed: 15-1/1500sec / 15-1600sec* Shooting speed: 1.7fps / 1.3 fps (so, actually slower!)* Screen: 2.5" / 3"* Optical zoom: 3.8x / 3xWell, the main feature on SD870 is the IS - but for an ultra compact camera point-and-shoot camera it will remain a rarely used feature.

I don't think that you can use this on a A100 - it is designed for the Nex series of Sony cameras. You are going to have a hard time locating an adapter for EOS to A-100 - EOS lenses are not mechanical lens, they interface with the camera electronically. Unless your adapter has this interface, most if not all EOS lenses will not function. The Fotodiox 10LA-FD-SN-G Lens Mount Adapter - Canon FD, New FD, FL Lens to Sony Alpha Camera Fits Sony adapter works with Canon FD lenses just fine, because these were mechanical lenses (focus and aperture). I hope this helps.Steve

No... that's about the only thing it can not do! There's quite a bit that this camera can do. Before it's January 2008 debut... and it's predecessor (the a100) in Jan 2006, photographers were looking for something new and something innovative. These cameras were crammed with every professional photographers "wanted, and desired features"! Hey! I'm still learning... and enjoying every minute doing it too!

The camera model "A100K" is a Kit including both the A100 body and the stock Sony 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6DT lens. You've found a misprint.

Size is a big difference for me. The A710IS is a bit larger. Also, the top ISO for the A710IS is only 800. Also, I believe the A570IS has video capability while the A710IS does not.I was debating between the A570IS, A710IS, and SD750, and finally settled on buying the A570IS because of it's size, performance, relative ease of use, cost, and batteries.

I was also deciding on these 2 cameras as a gift for my parents and ended up going with the A570. Another difference I saw with the A570 was the Face Detection feature and the improved Red-Eye Correction - I don't remember seeing those 2 features on the A710. In addition to that, my final deciding factor was the fact that the A570 is a newer model in the Powershot series.If you haven't already, I recommend watching the interactive video on the A570 - it will highlight some of the features I mentioned and is helpful especially if you're not as familiar with the Powershot series.I also purchased the Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries which had good ratings.

I'm deciding between this camera and Canon's new PowerShot 12.1MP w/ 4x zoom. Opinions, anyone?

yes, the Canon PowerShot A1300 has an optical viewfinder, as well as the LCD screen, so you can line-up your shots either way you prefer. And, the viewfinder "zooms" with the optical zoom lens on the camera.

I bought the Canon A1400 for my grandson. He loves to take pictures with it and we have not noticed any problem with blurry pictures. Occasionally the videos are blurry but I think that because he swings the camera back and forth too fast.

They seem to be pretty comparable. I found a couple of reviews... check out dpreview.com (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsx1is/page13.asp) for more details. The thing that turns me off of the Sony is that it takes memory sticks and I believe it saves the videos in a sony format.... Canon seems much more open and standards based.

I do have a choice and I own them both. I take them both on field trips. The S100FS is faster in getting action shots, but the HS30EXR allows me to get closer to my subject. I usually shoot from a tripod using a cable release.
