Re: Better price WB850f

I'd honestly wait until you can test out the IQ. Also, no one knows how well the WiFI will work for picture transfers and if the bugs are completely worked out, so just wait.

Honestly, if you're going to need something, you can't beat the Canon SX230, for instance. The IQ is pretty damn good. Naturally, no wifi, but you get a cam with great IQ.

Thanks for all the info.....

I'm hoping to get the camera before my trip. I don't mind paying the first release price in this case. I travel light, so a camera with wifi would help, less cables and back-up stuff. I was looking at the Sony Hx30v, but that is released 5/11 and I leave on 5/12, so that wouldn't work. If the WB850 is released on 5/4 I'll probably have to pay 2 day shipping on top of full price.....Oh well sometimes things just don't line up in your favor....
