Those are the main differences if I recall correctly. I've seen the S95 for about $300USD right now on sale. The S100 apparently is still on back order (though Best Buy in the US managed to get a batch of them somehow). The backorder situation is because of the flooding in Thailand.
In any case, I put in an order at J&R for an S100 since I already sold my S90. Still waiting for it after a whole month... Quote:

Quick question :
I have a D90 right now with the normal 18-105
I am thinking of getting a D7000 with 18-200
Is that a good upgrade?

| [Adorama] GF3+2 lens for $499US 
the lens in the package aren't very tempting though. I suppose you can sell these two for most of the package price? haha

What would be a good point and shoot camera to purchase? My budget is around 200-350.
So far I've heard good reviews about nikon coolpix s9100 and Cannon PowerShot Sx230 on pc world. And the P300 from LiquidTurbo's post.
I will be going away to hong kong and china. Would they have cheaper cameras there?

^ I tested a few at futureshop and best buy, got to say they all suck... Even the most expensive are not that great for the price.
But out of all i found that the Canon Powershot ELPH 300HS is pretty good in sharpness and color. Plus its only 189.00  i bought it as a gift for xmas Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS 12.1MP Digital Camera with Case - Black : Compact Cameras - Future Shop

I would use either a 7D or 1DmkIV. 1DmkIII is ok too, but you're limited to 10MP and its AF issues that seem to crop up now and again.

i made sure this is not in the "AF issue" batch of cameras(i checked serial numbers before i bought it).
yeah, i'd like to use a Mk IV too, came up a couple grand short though, lol.

Does anyone know if you're able to purchase the Sony NEX-5...
with the lenses in BLACK?
Very tempted to buy the NEX-5 on special for boxing day...but the silver lenses on black body kind of bothers me.
According to their website: Alpha NEX Lenses | Sony | Sony Store USA
Only the Carl Zeiss 24mm with f/1.8.....for $999.99 is offered in black.
But I seen pictures of the 18-55mm offered in black. Maybe other markets??? 
Instead of this: | |
