*(rolls eyes heavily)* It's none of the supposed reasons above. When a new camera is released, at first the price of the older model goes down as the retailers try to get rid of the older...

It depends where you place your priorities. The Canon s100 is the smallest - only one that fits in a jeans pocket. The best you can get in it's size. f2.0 lens, larger-than-average sensor,...

Olympus xz-1 - f1.8 lens, f2.5 on the long end (which is kind of amazing), the lens has a very good reputation for being sharp. Add-on electronic viewfinder though. Fuji x10 - f1.8 lens, f2.8 on...

I want to agree with you, but if you have a negative opinion of the camera - who would want to spend all that money on something that you don't think you're going to like? As you can see from...

I cannot find a camera called the sx240 on amazon or the net. Did you mean the sx260? It's pretty much like this: sx260: maybe a tiny bit better picture , mostly more zoom range. s100:...

Though I've only tried the cameras, don't own them, I prefer the Olympus xz-1 over the lx5 or the x10.

Also, fyi, the Canon g1x does not have changeable lenses, but it does have a nearly dslr-sized sensor. Just mentioning it if you haven't heard of it.

"The big factor here is the lens. The Fujifilm has a nice 28mm – 112mm f2 – f2.8 zoom lens. If such a lens existed for the mirrorless cameras, it would be quite large." You're right, but I...

True, but it's usually s100 vs dslr. Since it's a slightly smaller sensor on m43rds (not to mention the Olympus's being discussed use the older 2nd gen sensor), I figured it was about even. I...

The s-series, so far, has always been replaced in the late fall. In other words, there's no rumors or expectations that a replacement model will come out soon.

...We could get into disagreement about how this works, but m43rds only offers a 2-3 stop advantage over a good compact from the sensor. 10x gives the impression of waaaaaaay more improvement that...

The Canon s100 fits in a jeans pocket - for some people (like me) that's super important, for other people not as much. But it does make it very, very portable, and an excellent "compliment" to a...

I would go with the dslr. They're far closer to being designed to handle sports - with the best available high iso performance and the best available shutter lag - than any of the other...

Yeah, I was also going to suggest the s100.

LOL! That's pretty hilarious. :D

I know the announcement came out a while ago, but I just ran across it: http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/05/08/Olympus-Tough-TG1-iHS-rugged-waterproof-shockproof-12MP-compact-camera The first...

...did you look at it on the computer though? I just haven't had very good luck with red-eye reduction when viewed at screen size. It eliminates the red, but just replaces it with brown or blue,...

The Canon 7d supposedly has a much better autofocus system for things like sports. However, the t2i, t3i, 60d, and 7d are all believed to use the same 18mp sensor. Only you can say for sure, but...

ditto, was going to write basically the same thing.
