Hey man, where you been? Haven't seen your posts in a while. The link is OK, but that wouldn't be my ranking, particularly with Fuji's "white orb" issue. -- Jerry

Keep the A720IS, sell the A590IS, or give it to a friend or relative. If you can find one, I'd go for the SX220HS instead of the 240' but if you really want the longer lens, get the SX240HS...

Sure enough, backpacking does have it's own requirements. If you don't need the hot shoe and flip out LCD (although it's really nice for small items at ground level). You might consider one of...

To have a light camera for wildlife, I use the Panasonic FZ150. It's bigger and heavier than the SX260HS; but still far less than my DSLR. Trying to find and compose wildlife with a long lens and...

I can sympathize. I had the S50, S70, and S80, and they were great cameras. Viewfinders on small cameras have given way to make room for larger LCD screens. The Canon G series and the Nikon...

Different cameras have different default settings, so direct comparison is difficult unless you download the images and simulate using in-camera sharpening. Also, the objects in the comparometer...

Yes, I was much happier with the 30D, because of those improvements. You're right in that it's a 20D Mk II with the same sensor and processor. My 20D is still around. I sold it to a friend, and...

I did a little checking. An SX40HS at ISO 800 compared to the S3IS at ISO 200 on the Imaging Resource site. Noise is comparable; but to drive the noise down; the imges are softer on the SX40HS. ...

I just finished reading the D30 review on this site. So now I'm prepared to make a few comments. The earlier Canons, up to the 20D all had soft images at default settigs and a very limited...

I looked up the 30D specifications. It has only a 3.1 MP sensor, has E-TTL flash, and uses CF cards and BP-511 batteries. My first Canon DSLR was the 20D, followed by two different 30D's. I...

All the Canon chargers I've seen are universal voltage, so all you would need is a plug adapter. -- Jerry

Yes, some species are quite territorial and try to drive off the intruder they see in the reflection. -- Jerry

Monica, I've owned the S3IS and my son and one daughter both have an S3IS. Some of my best squirrel shots were with the S3IS. I had a couple of different S5IS, and an SX10IS. Along the way, I...

The comparison is even more in favor of the XZ-1 at full zoom of 112 mm, equivalent. The G1x is f/5.8, the XZ-1 is f/2.5. That puts the XZ-1 up by 2 1/2 stops. So, if the XZ-1 is at ISO 400, the...

Obviously an excellent combination. Remarkable for an equivalent of 1020 mm! I found an old Tamron tripod mounting collar from the 60-300SP lens that fits nicely on the LA5 to give good balance...

I did have the expectation that color balance would be pretty close across the Panasonic brand. That's true of Canon cameras, of which, I have had quite a number. For example my 2007 G9 has a...

I think I was my own enemy here as I really wanted to believe it was the same sensor. It still might be; but perhaps not the same processor or processing algorithms in the firmware. The ZS20 has...

The shots were taken from a slightly different spot, as the forground foliage is different. I'd have to say the FZ150 color is more natural looking. The sky is a nicer blue for one thing - the...

The SX230HS is surprisingly capable. No RAW; but the My Colors Custom option has a full range of settings, and the camera has flash exposure compensation in addition to regular compensation. ...

The others have done a good job with their advice, so I can't add much. Just one thing. In the main menu, go to i Resolution and set it to ON. It does a great job of adding a little sharpening...
