I am sure Tigo if you go for the SZ-31 you will be very happy with it. Once you get to grips with all the features you won't turn back. As you say, it is great to hold, always feeling firmly held...

I just put my SZ-31 into direct sunlight and I can make out the screen quite easily. In reference to shot-to-shot delay, there is none on the SZ-31. The SZ-31 is an improvement over the SZ-30...

As you did not reply to my earlier comment gilbertt I'll try once again... Sony do make some very good and exciting cameras and continue to show good lens. The SZ-31 has strength's in many areas...

Jon, Love your shots from the SZ-10, very nice indeed. You captured the essence of digital zoom very well. I know I often scratch my head and stare at the shots in great wonder, just how on...

Well, I can't speak for the Sony but the SZ-31 has no problem with delay.... Simply point shoot and do it again straight after, or use it's excellent burst mode. Mike -- Happy with most...

Well I do know using the SZ-31 in full zoom (digital included) hand-held is as steady as a rock and that is 2304mm. Nip back and have another look at those shots I put up in this topic earlier...

Re the LetsGoDigital review ~ I'm pleased they showed an example of the 'Beauty' mode. It actually works exceptionally well. Especially for the fun element when you have a 6ft 6" bloke built like...

Thanks Don.. .... and I forgot to add, all those shots were taken Hand-Held. Shows just how fast and stable the SZ-31 is even at x96 full zoom. Mike -- Happy with most Cameras but...

No problem... pleased they were of assistance. To be honest although it has an f/3.0 that iHS really works very well. I am truly amazed at just how much light I am getting. I often end up having...

Not entirely true Ken. I do agree that cropping gives the same result but sometimes even if it's just to save on post processing and cropping you can shoot using digital zoom. When out and about...

I wish you well in finding that camera. Mike -- Happy with most Cameras but use:- Nikon D200 + various differing Lens [inc Sigma Bigma]. Fuji X10 Olympus XZ-1 Olympus SZ-31MRiHS Panasonic...

Thanks Henry. As your good self being a user of a SZ-30 your comments are valuable. Mike -- Happy with most Cameras but use:- Nikon D200 + various differing Lens [inc Sigma Bigma]. Fuji...

Thanks.... Although the SZ-31 is never going to be in the same class as the semi-pro camera I have, as in the Oly XZ-1, Fuji X10 or Panasonic LX3, the SZ-31 does however put up a tremendous job in...

Yes, the SZ-31 is quite remarkable with it's macro and close up zoom shooting. This is the first 'cheap' (and I use that word in a positive way) camera that allows you to use FULL Zoom from as...

Apart from not being able to alter the camera's speed I fail to see where you think my replies were negative. In fact apart from not being able to alter the exposure length manually all the other...

I forgot to mention..... Whilst doing this small Video I also pressed the Shoot Button four times to see if any noise would have been generated whilst shooting. Admittedly there is 'minor' noise...

Thank You Henry. The more I use this little number the greater I find it a joy to use. Mike -- Happy with most Cameras but use:- Nikon D200 + various differing Lens [inc Sigma Bigma]. Fuji...

Nikolay, You asked if I could upload a Video file for you. This video shows the zoom capability. It demonstrates the TOTAL optical and digital zoom of the SZ-31. For the purpose of this test...

For some strange reason the EV +2 image got deleted from my last post. Here it is again. dpr://galleries/3673617517/photos/1964911 Mike -- Happy with most Cameras but use:- Nikon D200 +...

Nikolay, You asked for some Night shots.... Here a a few I have just taken. This one is using Night Scene Mode ~ The only one that gives a MAX of 4 second exposure. However, although there...
