px100 vs px100 II: anyone know the difference between series one and the series II models ?

The PX-100 II's are AWFUL!!!! do not buy them. Sennheiser gave them the ridiculously accentuated midbass hump they think the market wants, presumably to compete with the Dr. Dre/Monster Beats of the world, and in the process ruined a cult classic. Sorry to report this but it is based on my firsthand experience, and trust me I am not alone. If you want a replacement for your PX 100, do what I did and stock up on them, b/c they won't be around forever. As of this writing, you can find them on ebay for around $37 a pair, give or take. Also as of this writing I am sitting listening to the Academey of Ancient Music play Mozart on my PX 100s, driven from my computer by a Headrooom Total Bithead, and they sound wonderful.

I too am looking for a new cyber-shot. I am looking to buy the dsc-w290 but I have heard great things about the WX1, such as the new panoramic sweep mode and cmos sensor. Not to mention zoomable HD video is amazing.Why you should wait however, is that this is the first batch of cameras with the new sensor. It also uses a smaller LCD than the 3.0 inch they started using such as the dsc-w290 and is only 10.1 mp which if you shoot in 16:9 mode, will be even less.Sony will come out with new cameras being announced in January at the CES 2010 show and then you should decide. If nothing substantial is announced, the price for this will have dropped greatly. I too am looking for a new cyber-shot.

While both of these are so called "bridge" cameras the Olympus SP-100 has one huge advantage over *all* other cameras in the class including the Fuji FinePix S1. The Dot Sight. At high zooms it is very difficult to frame the subject with any other camera. This can be very very frustrating. The Dot Sight eliminates that frustration. Once you are familiar with it you just put the illuminated reticle on the subject while keeping both eyes open. This makes tracking moving subjects very easy and intuitive. I just works better than any other camera. Otherwise the photos and everything else are pretty equal across the entire class.

The S95 (or in my case, the S90) takes far better macro shots than the X100. Focus is much faster and solid. But the X100 takes 'bokeh' shots much better than the little Canon. I'm keeping both as I believe they complement each other rather well.

One is 3x-9x power/zoom, the other is 4x-12x power/zoom. There is no advantage as they are both vx-2, however, one of them zooms further than the other.

Sorry, but I can't answer that question. I don't have a privia px 100 and don't know where to find one. I see that it works for the px120 and px320, so it's quite likely that it will also work for the 100, but without seeing the 100 and it's specs, I can't say for sure.

RX100 specs&quality; are better. But XF1 is best money tradeoff with brilliant EXR mode.

"Neither the SX10 nor SX1 will keep up with any decent DSLR in image quality and surely not in low light, they just don't have the image sensor size"Yes, C. Jones, that is a given! If you want the convenience of a P&S; you have to still give up some of the features of a good SLR...at least for now.

SD series is more for the "point and shoot" crowd whereas the Sxx series offers more exposure adjustability for better creative control. The Sxx series also generally has larger image sensors which creates more interpixel spacing which reduces light bleeding between pixels thus reducing noise. (The "larger" reference is in reference to physical size of the sensor not pixel count.) As for whether the S90 takes better/clearer pictures the answer is most likely yes but how much better is going to be based on the situation. In low light situations the answer is a definite yes as the S90 has an f2.0 aperature which allows twice as much light as the f2.8 of the SD1200. This combined with the larger sensor will allow the S90 to take better low light pictures. Some other differences favoring the S90 are the 28mm wide angle lens and flash range. The 28mm lens captures an image roughly 25% wider than the 35mm lens on the SD1200. Flash distance increases from 14 to 21 feet at wide angle setting. The downside of the S90 is size. It is considerably larger and heavier than the SD1200. As for the reddish tones, this is a function of Canon cameras. It can be minimized however through proper use of the white balance/lighting type settings in the camera. I hope this helps. (note: Sxx refers to the S10 through S90 series not the S100 through S500 series which were point and shoot models.)

The big difference is that the AX100 is 4K and has 4 times greater resolution than the CX900s (3840 x 2160 vs. 1920x1080). Even if you don't have a 4K set, the down sampled 4k video is reported to be substantially better quality.

Not sure about the newer model. I got the SX500 and absolutely love it. Pictures are great, very clear and camera is easy to use.

The DX II was made to be compatible with older models like the T1i. If your using a body newer than that, the DX I should work fine. There are no defining differences between the two other than that.

I got confused reading the reviews in the search engine over this, and I almost bought the wrong model. This camera (HX400V) is NOT the same as the H400, and reviews about this camera compared with the Sony website is a bit confusing. One reviewer said they are both the same except for GPS, which is incorrect. The basic model has a 63x zoom, and no GPS or WiFI, and some other features are missing, but the HX 400B/V is the high end model with the Carl Zeiss 50x lens, (better glass, lower f/stop) the Wifi, GPS and the upgraded capabilities.

The best thing to do would be to find the operation manuals for each camera online for free and compare them. After googling "difference between pj790 and nx30" the first link took me to a forum where one user posted the following: "The NX30 differences are the XLR unit and the mic, LPCM audio choice as well as Dolby, bigger battery, full set of cables, full timecode control not just a counter fixed shot/photo button rather than just the photo button. Lot more than $400 !!! It also has 720P60 and not sure if the PJ760 had 720P60." I have not fact checked this. But i own the NX30 and his info is accurate in that regard. I don't know for sure about the pj790v.

not much difference. its the same thing. the reason why EP100 isn't listed is because it is a new product and will soon be posted on their website when a new software update is available for the device.

X-E2 is the next generation after X-E1. X-E1 in its turn is the same as X-Pro1, except X-E1 is smaller, has hybrid viewfinder replaced with higher-resolution electronic-only one, added external microphone/shutter release control connector, and some other minor differences.The rest of the differences are the same as between X-E1 and X-E2 -- X-E2 has faster processor, new sensor with faster autofocus (built-in phase detection sensors as opposed to contrast detection only in X-Pro1 and X-E1) and 14-bit color depth, split image focus view and other firmware improvements. http://www.dpreview.com/previews/fujifilm-x-e2/ has more complete list.

I'm not sure since I have never used the p100 but it does have editing tools on the camera where you can edit the pictures.
