You can't possibly go wrong with either cam, each have their strengths and weaknesses.. it all depends on whether you are willing to fork out more $$ for the swivel lcd (S2) or use proprietary memory cards (H1).

Or you want to wait and look at the upcoming S3 and H5/H2 models instead?

Maybe wait for the IT show coming in about 2 weeks time?

can see you're looking for a megazoom... if you wait for the IT show you have 3 selections...

Sony : H2 & H5
Panasonic : FZ7
Canon : S3 1S

and if you decide not to wait...

Sony : H1
Panasonic : FZ5 & FZ30
Canon : S2 IS

my 2cents on the matter

I guess these new models will only come out around May and won't be available in the IT Show.. Well, at least for the H2/H5.

I recommend Canon PowerShot S3 IS. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

[Benji77]

I would take the Canon as I find that their software is pretty user friendly. Their Powershot series is also value for $$.

If you are buy new camera Canon S3 IS is the choice...:thumbsup:

how about....

Sony R1 ?

R1's too costly. Might as well buy a 350D with this price.

Agree...

 

[Snoweagle]

Sony R1 is around $1699, EOS 350D kit is only around $1500.

I agree with Snoweagle too. Very nice image quality but the price is :sweat: :sweat:

 

[Breathe]

whats the price of R1 anyway? anyone knows?

 

[metallilan]

costs SGD1585.00 @ bargain city...

 

[Breathe]

ah...thanks man.
maybe when drop a bit more, become very good value.
this is really good cam, if you don't intend to change lens. only problem is that i think accessories such as flash and filter may cost more? or maybe R1 is compatible with 3rd party accessories, if so then good buy.

Wow...the price has dropped.

Yes...Sony cams are touted to have very nice image quality but it's overpriced for that range.
