| Anton, checked out the Canon and it appears to be a high quality machine in the compact range. The bigest plus for me is the real-image zoom optical viewfinder with dioptre correction. I have a Nikon compact with the normal viewing screen, but if I am out in the sunshine it is very difficult to see detail on the screen even just studying composition for the shot. Thus for me, to compose a pic and ensure sharp focus plus the depth of field I want, the optical viewfinder wins every time. The series of pics included in the site are very good but no info. if they are jpeg or raw and how much editing has taken place. It must have a large plus for the raw capacity, but what is the cost difference between the compact and a pro slr? If it is not large and the prospective buyer was intending serious photography, then I think the slr is the best bet.
