I also choose between these two models...

At last i go for FS 200, the images & videos clearity are better and functions like viedo-snap, pre-record, night led light... are useful.

Although S26 has a 70x zoom, but as you zoom more than 40x, the images/focus is shake even holding with two hands...

Go to their respective websites, read through their specs...

oic... i personally haven't try these two cameras. just base on the review from the sites. between, how does the F200 perform in low light condition?
thanks...

60x Sony
or
70x Pana

how come?
because sensor very small
cannot expect good pic quality

good cams only got 10x or 12x?
because good picture quality

don't blame the cam for shake at >40x
u supposed to use tripod for such large magnification

hmm.... 10x optical zoom is not a problem to me. i'm more prefer the video quality at low light condition, as i shoot indoor more often.

i will prefer on the panasonic s26 70x zoom ... stabalizer is very effective it is optical IS ...canon is digital IS can even put additional lens on panasonic but the canon has no track for the lens ... try to look for a guy in mustafa basement 2 video camera counter ....called shawn he explain well.. BUT DONT LOOK FOR THOSE INDIANS STAFF VERY RUDE.. i think the price was about $549
