A95 vs S1is

[bvi steve]

Hello to all,
I'm new to this forum and I like some input on the A95 compared to the S1 is.
I have a digital rebel that I really like. I need a smaller camera that I can carry in my glove box that will print to 13 by 19. Will the longer zoom make up for the lack of pixels? The A95 has 5.0 compared to 3.2 for the S1is. I was told always go for the bigger optical zoom which the S1is has. I like the idea of the image stabelization a lot.


Thanx

I have the S1IS (and love it) and have successfully printed 8x10. I don't believe that the resolution will be enough for 13x19 - The optical zoom will allow you to better frame shots (versus cropping which "eats" pixels) but will not give you more resolution that the 5mp A95 will have to print larger images.
