Re: Canon SX240 HS or Olympus SZ-16?

I have an SX240 and have taken some nice shots with it. It's not going to give me DSLR quality but I knew that before I bought it. The biggest difference between the SX240 and SZ-16 is that the SX240 has Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual modes whereas the SZ-16 does not. The SZ-16 has more scene modes than the SX240. I think the SX240 has just got the edge image quality wise but I don't think there is much between them so I'd say chose one based on how you think you'll use it. If you're the type of person who wants to alter aperture and shutter speed go for the Canon, if you're the type of person who like to use scene modes pick the Olympus.
