Canon Sx40 vs. Sony HX100V and Canon SX40 vs. Fuji FZ150 - Grateful11 - 12-10-2011 Not my comparison but someone asked for it so here it is. It also has the Canon SX40 verdict. http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_PowerShot_SX40_HS/verdict.shtml Panasonic Lumix FZ150 verdict http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC_FZ150/verdict.shtml Sony Cyber-shot HX100V verdict http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Sony_Cyber-shot_DSC_HX100V/verdict.shtml Accordimg to them the Sony and the Canon tied for Image Quality 18/20 and the Fuji was 17/20. Interesting reviews if you want dig back further on each camera. Re: Canon Sx40 vs. Sony HX100V and Canon SX40 vs. Fuji FSV150 - jimbrady - 12-10-2011 The Panasonic FZ150 should be in your title--it's the Canon's stiffest competition. "Compared to the current competition, I'd say the SX40 HS enjoys a very minor edge over the Panasonic FZ150 and Sony HX100V on noise levels, although it's a close thing and they're all fairly equally matched in real-life resolution. That's as far as in-camera JPEGs are concerned. The FZ150 does however enjoy one big advantage over the SX40 HS and most rivals though by also being able to shoot in RAW, which in my tests allowed significant highlight retrieval which was forever lost on JPEGs. " Re: Canon Sx40 vs. Sony HX100V and Canon SX40 vs. Fuji FZ150 - Grateful11 - 12-10-2011 Oops fixed that.

Does using the CHDK program void your warranty?Edit http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ Re: Canon Sx40 vs. Sony HX100V and Canon SX40 vs. Fuji FZ150 - GeneL - 12-10-2011 I had looked at the Panasonic to compared it with the highly touted Canon and felt that if I were to buy a camera, the Panasonic with its Leica lens would be my choice (and I've been a Canon fan going way back to my AE-1). But, as I always say, "that's just my opinion, I could be wrong." ![]() Re: Canon Sx40 vs. Sony HX100V and Canon SX40 vs. Fuji FSV150 - Grateful11 - 12-10-2011 You have to load this every time you turn the camera off? "(turn off the cam and it's gone completely)" Re: Canon Sx40 vs. Sony HX100V and Canon SX40 vs. Fuji FSV150 - freeradical - 12-10-2011 Grateful11 wrote: The way I understand it, this firmware is loaded on to a memory card, and when the camera boots up, it loads the firmware on the memory card. When another memory card without the firmware hack is installed, the camera boots up with it's original firmware. This is a good thing. Re: Canon Sx40 vs. Sony HX100V and Canon SX40 vs. Fuji FSV150 - Grateful11 - 12-10-2011 Well that's not too bad. I thought if it had to be loaded onto the camera each time it's turned off it wouldn't be worth it period. |
