Go to http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon_EOS_Digital_Rebel_XS-vs-Canon_PowerShot_G12. It has a nice easy to read list of the pros and cons of each. I'm comparing the same two.

I am confused whether to buy G12 or SX210. Which one gives better pictures ?

For me the big difference is that the G12 has the flip out screen. If you like to take pictures from different angles the movable screen lets you get these shots without having to get down on the ground or climb up on stuff. My old Canon A620 has this kind of screen and it is worth the extra money.

Without a doubt the Panasonic is a better deal and camera for the money ,I have both the G12 and the LX5 and the Panasonic wins hands down in almost all aspects. Just My op of course.

There is no real difference betweeen the two, other than adding the newer digic 4 processor (replacing the older digic 3 processor on the SX110). I don't think this is worth a premium over the SX110. As already discussed in other discussion page, the sensor is slightly smaller (BAD!), and they upped the megapixel to 10 (up from 9 -- almost useless). I really don't understand Canon why they released this camera without anything really worth upgrading from the SX110. I would rather recommend you the SX200, which have much more features, like wide angle, longer zoom, proprietary battery so you can see battery meter on LCD (unlike with the AA batteries), has quicker flash recharge time, speaker is placed on better position, has additional features like color swap, color options like vivid red/blue/green, you can erase part of a movie, and is slimmer. Or, if you want more pro but not going DSLR way, check out the new G11.

Canon G11 is a excellent camera, for kids photography works fine. G11 have both manual and automatic settings, this provide you with good alternatives to be creative and responsive when you need it. Video quality is adequate but remember is not HD!! Hope this help.

I have owned both and prefer the GX7. More options, also a great sensor crop option that gives 2.4x greater zoom reach with zero degradation of image. GX7 has a newer sensor. I ended up selling the GH3 and keeping the GX7.BTW IBIS does not work with video, but with Panny lenses this is a non-issue.

No, it isn't. For similar money you can get the fabulous Fujifilm XS-1, or the Fujifilm HS30exr is cheaper but has a smaller sensor. Both have full auto modes, and both have large zooms so you c\n get close to the action. They also have image stabilisation built in. If you decide to take a tripod as well, whatever camera you take make sure image stabilisation is turned off whenever you use it, or if you take a shot with the camera resting on a surface, or even if you use a monopod. Remember hat, and you can stick to auto for all else.

The low light lense is a bit better. If you have the G10, don't bother with the G20 unless you want the upgrades. If you don't have the G10, get the G20, because the g20 is the fixed version of the g10. THE G30 however gets it just a little better in the mechanics department. UI, hardware, etc....but quality wise.....they are all about the same. Its the structure of the camera thats really being improved upon when they make new models. Don't waste your money unless you are one of the iphone geeks that have to have every new iphone they release...because technically, they are all the same. I have the G20 and love it.

I personally am getting the T1i for my first DSLR. I have a film SLR and an advanced P&S; type camera that I use now. I consider myself and advanced amateur and understand how to manipulate the manual settings. The XSi and the T1i are not vastly different as far as how the menu's or controls are set up. The T1i is more advanced as far as sensor, megapixels, LCD screen resolution, and the fact that it can do video if you want it to. For the extra money, I want the T1i's extra features.

I've been using the G 1X since it first came out. I can tell you that the amount of noise at high ISOs is remarkably minimal. No camera is ideal for everyone. But the large sensor, the portability of the camera, and low noise at high ISOs make this good for me. I hope this helps.

I own both the GX7 and the XE-2. While the GX7 is a nice camera the XE-2 blows it away. The kit lens on the XE-2 is much nicer in it's construction. It feels more substantial and to be of nicer quality materials. The GX7 takes nice pictures but you do get a lot of noise in the images that are taken in lower light conditions. I attribute this to the smaller sensor size. I've been really impressed with the overall image and build quality of the XE-2. So much so that I will often leave my larger Canon and Nikon bodies at home and grab the XE-2 if I'm heading out for the day with the family. Both cameras are really nice but the XE-2 is in my opinion the better camera.

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.

Although many camera gear review sites give the edge to G12 over P7000, the difference is just that, a small edge, even with P7000's known flaws regarding slow RAW write times and focusing issues. Since I'm a Nikon DSLR user, I can use my Nikon Flash on P7000 to give me more flexibility in using this camera. Otherwise, I would have gone with G12 as I think Canon does P&S cameras better than just about everybody else. However, that was the thought process when the camera prices were comparable before the huge price drop on P7000 AND the necessary firmware update (version 1.2) from Nikon. At this price ($229) along with firmware update, it's almost a no-brainer in picking P7000 over G12. For the price of P&S slightly above the economy model, you are getting a fantastic, albeit previously flawed, high-end P&S camera.

I purchased this week and was dissapointed by a Panasonic ZS10 and was also searching for a replacement. You might like this website as a comparison of features. For the more common photos (birthday, parade, sports) it looks like the Elph 500 is the winner. Choose the SX230 if you travel on a regular basis and take mostly outdoor and daytime photos. The GPS feature and high zoom capability will help with those far away pics taken in nature (mountains, pyramids, etc). http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-ELPH-500HS-vs-Canon-SX230-HS

The SX120 is a pro compact camera with a fast lens and takes pictures in RAW mode for great post production editing. it is also a very compact size making it easy to carry in a pocket all day. It does not have the focal range as the SX700 and it is a bit more expensive, but I think that it is more of a DSLR replacement due to its many high end capabilities. Having said this, it is a wonderful camera to set on auto and take great shots all day in any light. BTW, I took my S120 to London this year and took over 500 perfect shots! Good luck, ES

Just keep in mind that the Canon XSi does not have video at all. And the LCD screen does not support live view. Other than that I think the XSi is a good DSLR Camera to start with a DSLR experience. But it is not as great as T2i.
