It is on deal here. I was wondering how it compares with Canon's G9 or G
series of cameras?

It looks like the SX100IS does hot have a hot shoe, right?

Thanks.

Or a viewfinder. Or a Li-Ion battery. Avoid it.

The SX100is or SX110is are the most versatile cameras you can buy that fit
in a belt pouch.

No hot shoe.


Hi resolution:

G9 - $500, 12 MP, 35-210 mm, Macro, 1.5 fps, 3" lcd, lithium, 1/2200
sec., optical rangefinder, hot shoe

G10 - $500, 15 MP, 28-140 mm, Macro, 1.3 fps, 3" lcd, lithium, 1/4000
sec., optical rangefinder, hot shoe


Super Zoom:

SX100IX - $250, 8 MP, 36-360 mm, Macro, 1.3 fps, 2.5" lcd, AA, 1/2500,
no viewfinder, no hot shoe

SX110IS - $250, 10 MP, 36-360 mm, Macro, 1.2 fps, 3" lcd, AA, 1/2500, no
viewfinder, no hot shoe

SX10IS - $400, 10 MP, 28-560 mm, Super Macro, 1.4 fps, 2.5" lcd, AA,
1/3200 sec, .23 MP EVF, hot shoe


Notes:

The above is list price, megapixels, zoom, macro, frames per second, lcd
monitor, battery, max shutter speed, rangefinder/electronic viewfinder,
hot shoe.

Zoom quoted is the 35mm equivalent.


Comments:

I consider AA a big advantage. The AA MNiH batteries are cheap,
available everywhere, and rapid chargers are cheap. They have an
excellent capacity. I keep 4 sets in may bag when I travel. Li is
expensive and requires a dedicated charger.

I much prefer either the rangefinder or EVF over the LCD. They use much
less power with lcd turned off and allow more stable hold of camera.
The LCD is great for reviewing pictures already taken.

For this and much more go to:

The Canon cases for all 5 are belt pouches. So I guess it depends on
your belt pouch.

The SX10IS is more versatile than the others but it larger also.
