Canon never Sony

Cannon all the way
by the1stdude - 5/26/07 1:17 AM In reply to: Canon never Sony by wizardbI know it's too late but I've had 3 digital cameras and the best point and shoot that I've had so far was my Cannon IXY 800 IS which is the same as the Cannon something 800. I got it on EBAY for 250$ overnight shipped from Hong Kong. It was selling in the stores for 450$ at the time. It has an image stabilizer to prevent low light blurry pics from happening and takes superb video. Both sony's I had sucked. The color never looked right on both. I think you will get better pics from the Cannon, but as you said. You already made the purchase. Good luck with it. If you change your mind, go with a Sony. They're just better.
You DID mean "Canon"....

Can't agree with you more
by btljooz - 5/26/07 1:49 PM In reply to: Canon never Sony by wizardbAt least Canon doesn't put a chip in their cameras that make YOUR pics "theirs" like SONY does!!!!!!!!!!!
For the record, I have a Canon AE-1 SLR that I bought brand new in 1984 when they FIRST came out...not problem one!!! 
If I want my pics in digital format I scan them on my Canon SCANNER! This way I have the best of BOTH worlds
Sony is not bad
by hjfok - 5/26/07 6:14 PM In reply to: Canon never Sony by wizardbI own a number of Sony products, the Plasma TV, 2 old digital cameras, one HD camcorder, one SD camcorder, DVD, Home Entertainment system, etc. They work great and are reliable. I have no problem with their products for years. Sure they are not the best, but still way above average compared to other companies (though they do charge way more).
For cameras, I also have both Sony and Canon. My Sony cameras produce softer images, whereas my Canon cameras take sharper photos with richer colors. So for cameras, Canon is better than Sony in my experience. Of course you can fix this with Photoshop. To Sony's credit, it produces a lot of electronic components for other companies, including the sensors for the Nikon cameras. Of course Nikon cameras have a different image processor engine that sets its image apart from the Sony, even though the sensors are essentially the same.
But Sony camcorders are fantastic. My Sony HD camcorder produce stunning videos on my Sony Plasma TV. And my old Sony SD digital camcorder more than 10 yrs ago still work very well today.
Go Canon
by nscave - 5/26/07 3:02 AM In reply to: Can't decide between Canon or Sony by gymkwI will put in a plug for Canon. I have used several models of Canon digital still cameras with great success. I also use a Canon digital video camera. What convinces me is they honour their warranty and more. A video camera failed long out of warranty. I contacted Canon by email, got a response in less than an hour and it was repaired free because they thought it was a vendor ccd problem. And there was a contact name on the email. Good to know they care.
I can't say that for Sony. Years back they proved to me they do not back their products at all. My opinion and experience . . .

by powersbk99 - 5/27/07 3:33 AM In reply to: Can't decide between Canon or Sony by gymkwConsider the Nikon for this reason. Nikon, Leica, and Ziess have superior lenses. The lens is the eye of the camera, so why not buy the best eyes. The rest of the camera is the brain and most camera brains are quality made and fairly equal these days. Other optics are good, my personal preferences are the best if possible.
Canon lens
by hjfok - 5/27/07 5:24 PM In reply to: choice by powersbk99Canon and Nikon lenses are similar in quality and price. Both have excellent lenses and not so good lenses. But overall they are equivalent.
