It will be s110 or the new canon M for me! Reliable and lightweight
It's pretty clear that the TS is looking for a premium compact, and he don't want to change lens, so EOS-M is out.
As for the S110, there are plenty of other competitive premium compacts out there. Not anti-Canon, and in fact, in awe of the fact that they were the ones who came up with the original premium compact in the S90 (together with the Panasonic LX-3). But over the years, they seem to have been resting on their laurels, offering bit improvements to the S-series in the S95 and S100. Now, its competitors have all caught up, from the 3-times larger sensor Sony RX100, to the stylish yet with larger sensor Fujifilm XF1, to the amazing fast lenses of Panasonic LX7, Oly XZ2 and Samsung EX2F (it comes w a swivelling screen too!). Apart from the slightly longer optical zoom (which aperture is a 'slow' F5.9 fully zoomed out), I was really quite disappointed when the S110 was announced recently.
and reliable ? On what, the basis of the Canon brand ? Have people heard of the lens error issue in the S100 ? I know of plenty of people w this problem and had to bring their camera back to Canon to get it fixed. hope that Canon would have learnt the lesson for the S110.
I'm thinking to get a camera for easy to carry and compact size. any recommendation?
I don need change lens =)
I thinking to get the Sony RX100 or Canon G1x, but still bit expensive
Hi TS, noticed that you listed RX100 originally, but later said it was too expensive. So you have a budget in mind ?
Do you have other requirements, like performance in low light, long zoom, etc ?
