Trying to Decide ... I know I'm probably preaching to the converted, but as a S95 user, I've been really trying to decide on moving on .. I tend to keep tech until substantial improvements have been made .. so I'm debating with myself over the S120 or...

I have had both the s95 and s100 and they are wonderful cameras..What I love about the Canon 120 : touch screen..great for spot focusing with stills and movies Faster Af Slow motion video option Shoots 10 fps Very sold feel....great pocket camera HDR that really works very well Terrific low light So my answer to you is I think you would be very very happy with the S120//Hope that helps Dave

Perhaps you have already made your decision? What did you choose? This something I am also mulling over. Both seem to be very good tvs and both seem to have issues (buzzing, fading black levels, etc). When a decisding between 2 good choices is difficult, perhaps both either option is a good one? Price is important and the samsung is much less expensive. Save the money for the next hi tech device you need to replace?

14 megapixels on such a tiny sensor makes each teeny weeny pixel unresponsive to even moderate levels of light. So minicams with above 10 MP have very poor performance if the picture is not taken in daylight or strong flash. Canon responded by placing a new 10 MP sensor (the largest they could fit in the camera, with the largest MP count that would meet their low-light performance floor) in the G11. Result? I sold my G10 with its noisy, overpixellated marketing gimmick of a sensor in favor of a solid imaging performer in the G12. Now I own both the G12 and the S95, a tiny pocket camera that has the same sensor, the same guts and a better lens, but I can carry it around with me. I find myself leaving the G12 at home and using the s95 for about 90 percent of the point-and-shoot work I do. It gets me the shot, just like the G12 does. But it fits unobtrusively in my front pants pocket. In sensitive situations like certain museums that don't allow flash photography and/or public figures that see every big camera as belonging to paparazzi, the S95 can get you shots with its fast lens and responsive 10MP sensor that the old G10 could never get. It's an awesome bit of technology, and I love it. If you haven't yet bought the G12, you should give the S95 a test drive. It is truly a G you can fit in your pocket.

@Coog makes good points for a new G series, however, my number one interest in the G12 is the viewfinder. This is simply where the S100 doesn't make the cut. The fully articulating rear screen on my S5 IS has enabled many, many otherwise unobtainable shots. Being able to hold the camera in positions where one's head can't go simply enables shots that would otherwise be missed. With that, I hope that Canon does continue the G series, swapping sensors and processors as prices come down. I need these sub-$400 cameras because I'm pretty hard on pocketables. The last two only lasted 4 months each.

My dilemma was mainly the SD770 or SD790. I didn't like the 1100 because it was too small, cheap feeling, only 8MP (I was upgrading from a 7MP), and I thought the colors were gimmicky.To me, the 770 is a grownup version of the 1100, but the 790 is a different class. I only wish the 790 had a viewfinder and even though I'm now used to the dial, I still wonder if I'm not doing something right when I use it for pics. I haven't been out on a big trip yet though, so the real test is still to come.

Very hard transition. Buy a v911! It is a VERY good intermediate between the S107 and the nano CP. You'll have plenty to learn in the v911, but the nano will still be a big jump up from the v911.

The s4 is a superior phone. The display processing power and ram are better on the s4. The s4 camera is no slouch either. But if you want a decent point and shoot camera with optical zoom the s4 zoom is an awesome phone. Just dont ask it to be a gaming powerhouse. It just doesnt have enough power for that

Not familiar with the S120, but I'm relatively happy with the P340 as a small point-and-shoot that has Nikon RAW (most just do JPEG). It really depends on familiarity with the Nikon v. Canon interfaces. Since my other cameras are Nikons it was a more logical choice for me. Hope that helps a bit.

I've had the S95, two,S100s & now I've purchased my second S110. So far I've never had any problem with the dreaded "Lens Error" which seems to plague so many people. My cameras have all died from Unnatural Causes which can be blamed on my own stupidity!

I was at Best Buy for a special event, and there was a Samsung rep there. He told me the A950 is still there flagship model. The differences in the two are back lit vs. edge lit LED's that why the b8000 is so slim. While the b8000 has a faster refresh rate (240 to 120) the a950 has dynamic contrast where the set is constantly scanning to give better blacks. Oh, and I think there's one more HDMI port on the a950 than the b8000 if I remember correctly. I did ask the rep if there was a 9000 series coming out. He said there is one in the works, but wouldn't say when. I'm thinking late fall in time for Christmas, or next year in the spring, but that's a guess. If anyone knows a exact release date for the 9000 series please post. I'm leaning toward the a950 for a few reasons better blacks because of the dynamic contrast scanning, and on the b8000 I did notice while watching at Best Buy the set did bleed light from the edges in letterbox. (The black bars weren't completely black. Kinda bugged me.). $4000 vs $3600 for the a950 plus three yrs. interest free at Best Buy this week. I may pick one up, unless Amazon has a better deal going.

what do you think of the s1300? I am considering both the s1300 and the s1500 and still am unsure of what to buy. Where did you find a refurbished scanner? thanks so much for any information you can give!

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!

Image qualitly for sd4000 is good. The video is wonderful - very good in low light with a f/2.0 lens. The SD4500 had higher definition video at 1080 as opposed to 720 on the sd4000. The S95 has more manual controls. I like this camera except - no F/2.0 lens, no zooming when shooting video. My fav is the SD4000.

If someone can answer definitively, please do. My guess would be that you won't see much of a difference between the two in an S100. But like I said, that's a total guess.

i think s95 is compelling if u want better pictures and control. since s95 has the bigger sensor (better pictures) and the PASM (better control).but really, the 4000 is a true P&S; wif some kick-ass hardware baked in.

yep - i agree - i ALMOST ordered it last night...glad I didn't. even more interesting will be the price they'll have when it's offered by amazon direct - i am still trying to decide between the 765T and the 265 WT, which, by the way has become 7 bucks cheaper than last night !!!MediaHub - i feel like we will both end up with a good in-car nav - let's keep in touch here and try to make a good decision. www.gpsrmagazine.com has a great review/analysis of 265WT and 765T...

I am in the same boat. I found that the 1200 is the "newest" model of it... And don't like it. The 1400 looks slick, but doesn't have too good of reviews. Did you find anything since then? I see you posted in Jan. :)
