- Higher megapixels - in the 10 MP range
- Bigger zoom
- manual modes - to help me prepare to tackle an SLR
- double A batteries: because that's what I had, and I have a terrible fear of running out of battery power
- reasonable pricing - less than $250
I checked out models in stores, and researched them online extensively. I narrowed it down to three choices: Canon SX 110, Nikon L100, and Panasonic Lumix TZ 5.
The Nikon L100 was the first to fall, because for more money, it does less -- it is best for a person that wants to take good pictures without putting in much effort, or taking time to learn about adjusting different values (aperature, shutter speed, white balance, etc). It's a basic point and shoot - with a nice zoom - in a heavy casing that looks like it should do more than it does. This would be great for some people - like my parents - but not what I was looking for. Also, the L100 takes double As, but not rechargables. This really disappointed me. The next step for Nikon seemed to be the P90, with manual modes and more control, but also out of my budget range. I would consider the P90 as a possible SLR replacement. Overall, I was disappointed that Nikon didn't offer a mid-range camera, somewhere between the L100 and P90.
As for the Panasonic TZ5, I discovered that camera in a shop and considered it mostly because it has a Leica lens, a famous lens renowned for its quality. Added bonus: wide angle lens, 28 mm, unusual on a point and shoot, good for indoor shooting. First downside: no double As - so I'd have to put out extra expense for a back up battery. I eventually rejected this camera because it had no manual modes - although it did have extensive scene modes I was accustomed to from my other point and shoot - and I decided I really wanted that feature. Also, the 10x zoom was extremely unstable -- I was not impressed by the lack of clarity when I took pictures indoors at full zoom and had trouble holding it steady enough with my own hands. Carrying a tripod everywhere is not really an option. Additionally, I checked out a website touted by another reviewer, and noticed that the TZ5 picture quality in low lighting was not comparable to its Canon equivalent.
Which leads me to the camera I chose - even without being able to test it in the stores! This was the only camera I didn't try until it arrived in the mail - and my purchase was completely justified. I chose the camera for its manual modes (Manual, AV, TV, P), for its 10x zoom and for its 9 MP. I was unprepared for how much I would enjoy those manual settings -- now I know why people love SLRs! I've been able to take pictures previously impossible on a point and shoot. Even on this camera, taking a picture in auto mode (still good) just doesn't compare to the human calculation behind a picture taken in another mode where every setting can be perfectly adjusted. I took the camera into Philadelphia one night for some night shooting and was pleased with the clear results. Also, the image stabilization - a problem in the TZ5 - is excellent in the Canon SX 110 -- clear pictures, no matter the zoom. I never use digital zoom, and would never have recommended it at all before this camera, but surprisingly, this camera produces a clear image at 40x zoom, the max (keep in mind you won't be able to print super large, but 4x6 would still be fine).
Before receiving and testing the camera, I was worried about lag time with the flash. I read that it took several seconds to reboot. But I have not had a problem so far. Some modes - night specifically - take longer to store and adjust the image, but this has never gotten in the way of my picture taking.
I never expected to be this impressed with my purchase - and I never expected to convert to Canon (I've always been a Nikon girl). But I couldn't be happier. Only trouble I've had so far is that sometimes in macro focus and at the 10x zoom, I've had some trouble focusing on objects that blend in with backgrounds - no surprise there. Pretty standard for point and shoot. It just takes a little time to refocus - patience!
The manual flash clears out extra menu hopping, and I adjusted easily.
Overall, this is the best camera I could have bought to meet my needs and budget.

to use filters like polarizing.
But the technology is so fragile. One day it simply quits with no
explanation.
In the long run I'm tempted to stick with film and an SLR. I can't be replacing
digital cameras all the time.







Need practise to become more proficient, but so far, so good.
Very satisfied with purchase.
