Re: Canon SD870 vs Fuji F50: Canon Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review

forums.dpreview.com

I think that the only 28mm capable camera that gives the Canon a run for the money is the Panny FX33 or FX55 but as those won't be widely available for a couple more months it will be tough to make a choice right now...I just returned my Fuji F50 and bought the Canon SD870 instead...Probably because you didn't set the ISO limit to 400 and it took ISO 1600 shots...

V8 vs Z1080 - Don't get Z1080 for video - Just get Canon SD870 IS...So given that, I decided to forget Casio and go with Canon SD870IS...In SD870IS the sound is CD Quality 44 KHz at 16 bit as opposed to 11 KHz 8 bit found in SD800IS...Yes, Canon uses MJPEG video compression instead of Casio's H.264, but memory cards get bigger and cheaper, so file size is becoming...
