Is the TG-830 or the TG-820 better? I wanted the 820, and my parents bought me the 830 because they figured the never version would be the best. It malfunctioned a little and I just wanted to be sure this was the better camera in case I need to...

I was told by my vendor that the new model TG-830 has the GPS function which I love. The resolution is higher and is HD for the recording. You can do the comparison on both features. When I purchased mine the newer model cost about $100.00 more and now is about the same price.

Hello Block, Thanks so much for the reply. i've heard the same things about the pixels not making too much of a difference after a while. the 890's wide screen and extra zoom are enticing! eek! still deciding but thanks for the response!

Thank you very much for the reply. I took the one back that I purchased at wal mart and ordered the same camera from buydig.com. Saved almost 100.00 bucks. I really haven't had a good chance to try it out yet but will. Your post really helped me feel better about the camera.

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!

"beautiful" can be a personal opinion. maybe u can post some pics so we can see what u call "beautiful". It will surely help me and other buyers make a good decision on which camera they should buy. and can u tell me, please, if the processor is fast. my mum has a cannon and it takes long to process the shot taken>preview it>& go back to the camera viewer....that stinks. Thanks in advance.

I was planning on getting the 340 but after reading tech reviews and consumer reviews I bought the 330 in pink 2 months ago. This is the BEST camera I ever used... the lighting, the sharpness of the pics (great low light too) I love it so much I just bought another one in pink to have a back up..don't want to be without this camera. I would absolutely buy the 330 -nice metal body unlike the flimsy body of the 340. Get the 330 before its gone!

Thanks for your recommendation of the Panasonic Lumix LZ8. (Like others in this dialogue, I'm looking to replace a Nikon that was very disappointing.) It's been three years since your post, and I've noticed that it's hard now to find an LZ8. Is there a newer Panasonic you'd recommend with the same enthusiasm now? Thanks for your help.

I'm having the same debate with myself! and as far as I can tell (novice!) the extra mega pixels won't make that much dif and I would rather have better zoom (personal pref) capabilites. I look for the increased ISO range now. From what people have told me, some of these cameras don't do so well in low light and the higher that no. is the better the pic will be with less light-that's if I understood it correctly! BTW, I have decided to get the 890, I believe it's the wide angle one of the two! good luck and enjoy-think about a warranty of some type-that was also encouraged by my photo buddies!

Hi, Douglas! I saw what you discussed about the lances and the whole camera and I want to ask you if you have any experiance with Nikon Coolpix 5700 (I have that one) and how is it against Canon DigitalRebel XT? Is it much more I'll "earn" if I switch to Canon? Thank you in advance!Ivan Hristov, Houston, TX

d7100 is far better, but its also more money, if you are just starting out 5300 is great, lots of features like toy camera mode, painting mode , it also has wifi and gps built in, my wife is just starting out so I opted for this instead of the more advanced 7100,also d7100 was named most stolen camera in the world!

I am trying to decide between these 2 cameras too (G7 and A710). I take lots of photos of pets - both inside and out, but cats are strictly inside, so I avoid a flash with them. I am looking for great quality photos and something easy to use. I have been using a Canon G2 (3MP) for a loooong time and I need a better camera (plus the G2 has been acting up). I have also historically had trouble with black dogs and cats, so any advice regarding that dilemma and the better camera would be appreciated. Also, why is a G7 more expensive than a G9? Thanks.

I have the SD1300IS, the Panasonic TZ5, TZ7, and FZ35. In general, all my Panasonics take better pictures that the SD1300. The SD1300 takes good pics, but the reason I keep it is for its small size, not its PQ. I don't have the FH25, but I highly doubt its picture quality is noticeably worse than the SD1300.

Hi everybody!DO you think that the image stabilizer in both cameras (800 and 850) are the same? In Brazil, the prices are lowest to buy SD800 IS, but this resoruce is very important to my job. So, if it´s better in SD850 IS.... Could you help de to decide?Tks, Arnaldo.

I went to the camera store today to compare these two cameras and came away with a definite lean toward the FZ18 vs the TZ3. The three big negative factors for the TZ were: 1. There was significant color blurring (red text on white background) when magnifying comparable shots (the FZ was clean); the compression noise was also significantly higher on the TZ3. 2. The image stabilization on the TZ3 at 12X zoom was WAY inferior to the FZ18 at 18X. I had a LOT of trouble getting one clear shot out of 10 tries at 12X with the TZ3, while the FZ18 gave perfect 18X images 9 out of 10 times. I don't know why this might be, and I checked all the settings on both cameras to be sure I wasn't comparing apples to oranges, but these results are real. 3. The TZ3 does not have a viewfinder and I have found that in bright sunlight outdoors a viewfinder is a huge plus. All this said, the TZ3 is still a nice camera for the size - it is pocketable (in baggy pants) while the FZ18 is not. -- Just my 2 cents. _eric

I am helping a friend make the exact same choice. (I was happy to see we aren't the only people arriving at the same 2 cameras!) Which camera did you choose and for which reason(s)?

..not 100% sure as I only have the TG-2. The newer one I believe has a tilt and swivel LCD display screen and possibly more whistles and bells. The advent of a waterproof camera being an all around point and shoot is Olympics goal. Either one is a great camera in their own right.

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 .
