Thank you, very informative and interesting, really helps sense I live where it is hard to get to a store that carries these cams. The Oly is looking like a pretty good camera, the Nikon seems great but the auto focus is slow. Is the AF on the Nikon that slow when shooting single images as the video, and is the IQ on the Oly close to Nikon. How about the speed of the Oly? Let us know the one you choose.
Thank you again Steve.
Mmm hard choice. I would say its close, I say the Nikon is the sharpest probably cooler pictures, the canon has richer warmer more vibrant colors, the Olympus somewhere in the middle. The only concern I had with the Oly was the low light performance on one of the units wasn't very good, which made the pictures more noisy than the Nikon P600 and canon sx50. If that was the case generally with Oly-100 then I would say the others would be better in low light. Again I am basing it on about 3 hours of comparing about 7-8 cameras with about 4 photos on each and a video recording zooming it in and out and fiddling with the controls. The canon sx 700 was the best focuser, followed by a close second with canon sx50 and the Oly. The Oly zoomed out slower too. The Nikon was a little behind not bad just you could tell it took a bit more time focusing and readjusting itself especially on video which would be frustrating for some but it took very clear photos. I hope to check the Oly out again probably in about a month I hope that helps.
Cheers
Steve.
