Comments on: A photographer’s advice: which camera is a better choice? http://digitalslrreviews.net/digital-slr-reviews/a-photographer%e2%80%99s-advice-which-camera-is-a-better-choice Digital SLR Reviews to keep you up to date Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:18:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dr. Sam http://digitalslrreviews.net/digital-slr-reviews/a-photographer%e2%80%99s-advice-which-camera-is-a-better-choice/comment-page-1#comment-617 Dr. Sam Sat, 22 Nov 2008 20:14:59 +0000 http://digitalslrreviews.net/digital-slr-reviews/a-photographer%e2%80%99s-advice-which-camera-is-a-better-choice#comment-617 She has only had it for about a week now, but my daughter (adult) just got the Canon S2-IS after quite a bit of comparison shopping. She loves it. She has had a couple digital cameras and a Canon 35 mm with some lenses, so she's not all "golly gee" and just saying it's a cool camera. In other words, she is coming from a bit of a knowledge base herself when she says that she really likes the camera. I won't see it until Saturday, though, so I can't comment. It sounds like a good choice to me, though. It has been the #2 or #3 popular choice on Comcast Shopping for months and months now, but I see it has finally dropped to #4. (This is out of 784 cameras listed.) The S5200 is about 35th.<br><b>References : </b><br> She has only had it for about a week now, but my daughter (adult) just got the Canon S2-IS after quite a bit of comparison shopping. She loves it.

Fuji build nice cameras, but Canon tend to be superior in consistent image quality in all or any circumstances. Both are stabilised, but the Canon has a 12x zoom lens vs. just 10x for the Fuji. The Canon will also probably retain its value longer (for the day you want to resell). You are aware I'm sure that both have successor models that came out earlier this year (but I understand you are constrained by your budget, right?). An alternative, and one that actually did receive better reviews than either of those two at the time when superzooms were at 5mp (vs 6mp or 7mp today), is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5. It is just as good, faster in operation, very good image stabilisation, excellent lens (Leica). And nice small details such as a supplied rechargeable battery pack, rather than the batteries wou need for the Canon (or else you need to buy rechargeable batteries, which adds to the bill). best site for reviews is www.dpreview.com Hopes this helps. a<br><b>References : </b><br> I'd go for Canon anytime.

When I was doing research for both a digital SLR and an ultra-compact ($300) model, I wound up with Canon for both. Canon has really good "glass". I'd probably go with the Canon - good quality glass, better zoom for your bird pix. If you haven't looked here http://www.dpreview.com/, I'd recommend it, too.<br><b>References : </b><br> I don't know anything specific about the two you mention.
