I am looking at this camera and can't decide between this model vs Panasonic LF1 vs fujifilm xq1. I would appreciate any input.

This is my second fuji.The first one lasted about 10 years. Best pictures I've ever taken! I love this camera! Good luck in your decision!

I had one and I can say the picture quality is terrible. Every pic I took for 2 years was blurry and grey. I bought it brand new and regretted it. I replaced it with a Panasonic Lumix which is fantastic.

I have never seen the fuji but go to http://www.dpreview.com/ and search both cameras they usually have good in depth reviews.

Thank you for your comment. I found it very helpful. I naturally prefer Canon but really want the wide-angle offered in this Sony camcorder. Canon missed the boat on wide angle in my view.

M. Dean, can you elaborate a bit? I'm having the identical dilemma. Never owned a digital camera, and the SX110 looks neat, but am thrown by lack of viewfinder and bulkiness.

It's a great camera for those who don't want to slug around more than one lens. It shoots extremely good photos. Its compact size and superb image quality are perfect for street photographers. It's not fast enough for professional work for, say, in wedding photography. I would compare this to a poor man's Leica. I'm upset with Sony for abandoning any firmware work on the camera; that's something you'd probably not experience with Leica. Many people (including me) have complained that the camera's focusing is too slow--something that could be fixed by a firmware patch. But there's no support at all on the Sony website. I think a fair price for this is around $1800 for new. It really is a great camera. But if you can find one for barely used, I think $1500 is acceptable. It's more expensive than the Fuji XT1, but the lens on the RX1 is amazing. The sensor is fantastic. It's easy to use and handles well.

I don't think the T300 is in the same class as the G10 and LX3, in terms of features and image quality. I'm a Canon guy and I really wanted to get the G10. But it was a marginal improvement over the G9. And the low light performance is still lacking. I tend to shoot a lot of indoor and night time pics, so the LX3 was a better choice for me. But if you're more of an outdoor daylight shooter, the G10 blows the LX3 away. And I have to say that Canon has a better menu system and user interface. The Panasonic UI takes some getting used to. I would highly recommend browsing through Flickr to get an idea of the image quality that comes from each of the cameras. It should help you decide on the best camera for your needs. And Amazon uses automated scripts to adjust pricing. If a Marketplace reseller offers it for a lower/higher price, the Amazon price will drop/increase by X dollars. So if you're looking for the best price from Amazon, it helps to be a little obsessive and check every half hour or so. :-)

Also not familiar with the FT5. I did a lot of research before I bought the Olympus. I have been very happy with this camera. We have taken it to the Caribbean twice and used it extensively in fresh and salt water without any leakage of water. The pictures are great, and the modes available for underwater and beach scenes are amazing and far better than other more expensive cameras that I have. I have also used the camera in extreme cold while skiing and have had great success with no problems with either video or still pictures. One of the best purchases I have ever made. Sorry I can't help with the direct comparison to the Panasonic.

I really like the Panasonic ZS30. I do not have the Fuji f900, although I've heard nice things about it. Google www.dpreview.com. I think they have professional reviews of both cameras. Might also try www.whatdigitalcamera.com. Another good place for professional reviews is www.cameralabs.com. If you go to www.whatdigitalcamera.com, it is a British magazine, and the ZS30 is known as the TZ40 in Europe - same camera. Both the Fuji and the Panasonic are highly rated. Another option to consider - Panasonic has announced that the ZS40 - next upgrade - will be coming out in March. It will have a 30X zoom, RAW shooting, and EVF, and several other new features. Might want to check that one out if you can wait a bit.

I just sold my D600. I had the Nikon shutter fixed, which worked fine, so that wasn't the reason. I just enjoy shooting with the Fuji more and I love the lenses. The X-T1 does what I need it to, but don't make the switch if you do much video. Fuji just doesn't make the grade there. It's the same with long telephoto and TTL flash. If you can live with those limitations, the X-T1 is a gem.

We returned it so I don't know. IT just didn't take pictures good enough. Loved the shape but that was about it. Got the Fuji X60 in case you want to compare. We LOVE that camera! Sorry I couldn't help you.

I chose the Sony HX1. It isn't perfect, but it fit my needs (action shots, low light) The panorama is pretty cool too. Some pictures of my first time out with the camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kdemerly/sets/72157623202912683/

Technically it has incredible Image Quality, so not just a good 1st, it's a keeper. It is more a question of preferences: If you like menus to control your camera, there are many others you could look at, however if you prefer dedicated dials like on film cameras for shutter speed, aperture and focus, it is Leica or Fuji X... I started with a Nikon F2, it went with me to every corner of the world. When digital came about I couldn't warm up to menus, did have a G10 that was quite good, but now with the X-E2 I am truly enjoying photography again. Keep in mind, it is not about the technology, it is about what you do with it, which also means once you find a camera you really like you can stay with it for a very long time, it should become an extension of your eyesight...

Sorry, haven't had the opportunity to try and compare the SX1is to the other two models.I'll tell you this though, after taking the SX30is for a test run there is NO WAY I would keep it over my SX20is when it xomes to the discussion of image quality.

I agree with the above comments regarding high ISO performance & outstanding lens selection/performance at reasonable prices.I will add: I recently sold my Canon MKll with entire L series lens collection because I've found the Fuji lenses to be nearly on par.In addition, the Fuji X-T1 is equally as robust as my MKll in all areas except some studio work. I'm confident that the Fuji bodies due for release in the next 12-24 months completely nullify any reason for me to stick with the weight & bulk of my Canon kit.It took a lot to convince me to switch from Canon to Fuji-- I hope this helps to illustrate...
