Afraid I don't have the expertise to answer your camera questions as I only know about the SX500, however for information on how many HD pics you can fit on a 16 DB card, you can check here: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/69/~/number-of-pictures-that-can-be-stored-on-a-memory-device

I bought that for a friend last year in another state, however, I never got any feedback in regards to that camera. I did buy a different camera for another friend - Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS25 16.1 MP Tough Digital Camera with 8x Intelligent Zoom. She told me that she loved it (and it did take great pics and videos). However, the only thing that was missing was a charger for the battery. I guess that had to be purchased separately.

I would recommend a sony camera. Have had four of them and they are great. I take more than 10,000 photos a year and am sorry I bought a canon. Thought quality would be universal in all cameras. I was wrong.

I guess it is just a sale. I started my shopping process at Best Buy and noticed that the other cameras with the wifi feature were 160+ and I didn't really need that (I can deal with putting the little card in my laptop). I was all set to buy another camera but they couldn't find it in the store and getting one from a store that had several in stock was a major ordeal that was going to take an hour. I gave up and left. If they don't want to sell me a camera, too bad for them. I looked on Amazon and saw this and saw the great price (only $15 more than the more basic one I was going to buy) and snapped it up. I also got the leather case as an add on. It protects the camera well. I guess it is just a sale.

Thanks so much for the response. After much research, I know I want this camera. What a great deal, I'll order mine tonight!

Can you tell me about the results? I still haven't done the actual ordering, I'm still researching. I want to make sure I get a good camera. I have a Canon PowerShot and I'm happy with the pictures. That's why I wanted to stick with a brand I was familiar with.

Well, I just bought the video camera today online, and I have heard about Cyberlink Power Director 7 being really good. It's about $60 but some of the videos I researched and saw on YouTube turned out really really good, in High Quality. Maybe someone else has some recommendations too.

pika2000 said is nice and to the point. The APS-C sensor is that size that most DSLRs have. The next biggest sensor is a "Full Frame" but then you are looking at $2K+ for body only. Also good point - if you have no interest in learning how to use lenses - go with the RX100 - great camera.

I can't wait for a reviewer to get their hands on the HS20. Sounds great on paper.HS20 reportedly has Bigger CMOS sensor and faster circuits (along with a few other fixes, plus remote shutter release capable, more frames per second, SDXC, and includes a proper bayonet mounted hood).HS10 at under $400 sounded too good to be true, this sounds more like it, how it is worth the extra dough.DP Review reports the basics (propaganda):http://www.dpreview.com/news/1101/11010513fujifilmhs20exr.asp

It depends on what you are looking for. This is an excellent camera, I would recommend the entry level memory until you know what you need after using the device for a while.

There is not a better bridge camera for the price. I have checked all over the web. Also consider a good Tripod with this bridge camera.

well. technically there is no best camera, it all depends on the lens you use. You can get a canon Xsi for about $600, it comes at 12MP which is plenty (my friend has this camera) and again, it all depend on the lens, because for landscape photos you probably would need a wide angle lens and so and so. There are different lenses for different shots, do some research or review some reviews on the different lenses to see what they do. I bought the T2i because I have a 46" lcd tv with SD card reader so i'll be viewing my photos and videos with my family on the big screen, so the number of pixels and the HD video was a very attractive point. well. technically there is no best camera, it all depends on the lens you use.

"Falling apart" is rather vague but I'm on my third "130", the first eventually two developing lens problems - not opening up fully, not zooming out fully. This is what happens when one uses a camera a lot in the outdoors, especially with fine dust and salt air (I live on the CA coast) being almost constant factors. But I have liked this camera so much - with its two AA battery set-up - that I have ordered, through Amazon, two "like new" replacements (both in the $75-$100 range, about the same cost, or less even, as a cleaning/repair these days). You could buy one of the newer models in this series as I believe a "150" and a "170" came out more recently. You could look at the specs to see any differences - no doubt the newer models have more megapixel at the highest setting, like maybe 16mp instead of max of 12mp with the "130". (I have done most of my shooting at the much lower M2 setting, which is 2mp, 1600x1200 to conserve my Rayovac rechargeable batteries and because I only email phos and do digital album folders, no large prints.) By the way, I believe the "170" (or maybe "160"?) switched from two AAs to the more common flat rechargeable. Finally, if you find that you have to keep resetting the date/time, that is because your separate little battery, the CR1220, that powers that function, needs replacing. I have seen that question/problem with this camera come up on this Amazon forum before. (You can get a replacement at Walmart, some jewelry stores, some camera stores for about $5.) I love both the Canon Elph series and the PowerShot series but heavily used cameras of any brand develop problems. Consider buying an extended warranty on the next Canon, if you, buy new! Good luck with your photography....

I don't think it is that bad at 200 pics per charge, you can also buy spares very cheaply here on Amazon, for less than $10, extra charger included. If you already own a Canon S100 or SX230, those batteries will also fit this camera.

You have had four or five previous digital cameras and don't have at least one decent sized card to move to this one? What would you have Canon pack with this one? A "throw-away" 32 Mb card? A 32 Gb card with which the purchase price will be 30% higher? Or just let each buyer choose whatever card of the many available he or she is comfortable in buying, if he or she has not bought one in the past, many people having had "four or five" previous digital cameras for which they have bought large capacity (and usually expensive) cards.

If you choose to shoot with this camera you will want the zoom lens first and for most 55to 300mm not cheap if bought by itself. $249.00 Look for the camera bundled at it should have this. Use the action mode and you can get some good shots. Just point and hold down the button for rapid fire picture taking. It takes 8 in a row. I used this at an indoor water park and the pictures turned out pretty darn good. I hope this helps you.

For starters you'll need a class 10 microSD card, I bought the Sandisk Ultra 32gb for about $30 on Amazon. You can't use the camera out of the box without it. From there I'd suggest two items to go along with your initial order: 1. The Wasabi Power Battery and Charger Kit, $24.99: The camera does not include a way of charging batteries other than using a USB connected to your computer. The Wasabi kit gives you a charger that works with both AC and DC, plus a pair of batteries that have more capacity than the GoPro battery (1200mah vs. 1050mah), and the Wasabi charger and pair of batteries cost only $2 more than a single GoPro-branded battery (which costs $23 just for one battery only!) 2. The GoPro Caps and Doors Kit, $18: This kit comes with a cover for the lens (when the camera is bare), a cover for the lens and power button (when the camera is in the housing), and extra battery and port covers for the camera itself (they're small so if you lose the original ones, you have extras). That's about it to have a nice setup from the get go. Also, if you're using the camera for specific activities, you'll want to take a look at the various mounting accessories available for the GoPro i.e. if you're using it for mountain biking, the Chesty harness is useful on the trails; if you're using it for photography, the Tripod Mount is a must; if it's for motorsports the Suction Cup Mount is great; and if you're using it for surfing obviously the Surf Mount is the way to go. Finally, if you want a nice case to hold the GoPro and all of your accessories, the UKPro Gopro cases are excellent. All of these items are sold on Amazon.com =)
