**NEW** PowerShot SX-100 IS

No, but converters hardly matter since prices of things vary in location despite the change in currency.

218 pounds is hardly close to $300. He just replied to my question in pounds. I live in the US. Therefore, it didn't answer my question.

How's he supposed to know BPAMland's in the US? You want people to give you answers relevant to where you live, getting cute with your location doesn't help.

And that helps us in the US how? I'm gonna guess $300?

ME ( iam a lady ) was only trying to be friendly There are plenty of us on here from all over the world Uk Usa Malaysia as examples iam sorry that my comment seemed to offend your senses I see many posts on here from the Usa and i take it into consideration but i didnt know where you were from and i know that there will be surely some from the Uk/Europe also waiting for this camera so i just stated the cheapest place i had seen it seeing as some places here in the UK are asking like £300+ i just was letting any potential peeps look at Pixmania. I would think that you will get it somewhere in the Usa probably as cheap and I hope if this is the cam your looking for your succsessful and thankyou to all who were nice and stuck up for me even though i didnt do anything wrong on a wide multi national board like this it is nice that people share things photos views etc but it is a shame when one likes to slam another in the face, like JON stated

And if you read the thread before now, you'd know that I posted when it said Lakeland Fla and not Fla is still there.

Fine better reasons to base arguments then on something that can change w/o notice.

People are so touchy here I've noticed. It's like ya'll never been on forums. I know sarcasm is hard to detect over th internet. *sigh* n00bs.

See! Smilie! Joke ok. I'll learn to use them more often I guess...

Thanks photo 123 for trying to get back on subject.

Looks like a swift little camera.

I checked out the SX100 yesterday. Its a nice affordable superzoom alternative to an S5.
However you will be paying for the features and the 10x IS lens, cos it really feels plasticky.

Shame it hasn’t got an optical viewfinder. I know not everyone’s bothered about this with the screen but I’m one of those who still likes to compose using it for some stuff, or at least have the option.

I have some old film compacts with really good viewfinders on and its something I really miss on digitals. I’m sure it can’t be that hard to do as it’s a technology that was worked out ages ago.

There are a lot of great digital cameras out there I immediately strike off my list because of the lack of an optical viewfinder. its something I insist on having.

hmmm... would it be a great buy?.. i wanna know... technically from the specs it seems worth the money but from those who have one, was it worth your savings? i might consider buying one if ever.

You are right. The body is exactly the same as A710 IS, but it has a little bit more special features like 10x zoom (it's fantastic). I like it!

And I was just getting use to my A710IS , this drives me nuts!

Anyone know if the size is the same as the A710IS?

Thanks,
John

I bought this baby yesterday and I am amazed.
So many settings manually are offered. I never had this in a P&S cam, so this is the right addition to an SLR eqipment.
This cam has all manual settings, a lot of usual functions ( panorama, manual fccus, i.e.) and it has a good picture quality.
If you own a digital equipment, this is your addition, if you don't, go with a S5 or G9.
