Right, after selling the ixus 60 thinking i could save for an SLR i cant lol! After numerous tests in Jessops and reading online reviews it has come down to these 2 pairings.... does anyone own either?
Canon Ixus 850is

Canon...
Had a play with both - now got to decide! s5700 is quite compact ofr what it is - and the 10x zoom was great! A570 was half the size and the 4x zoom was good, but i really did like the full 10x!!!
Image stablizer on the Canon was really good, worked well indoors. The s5700 did struggle indoors...
^^ cheers! think i might go with the Fuji - sold my ixus to get an SLR but funds have now somewhat been depleted! The 570is has only 4x zoom so I think i might go for the bargain basement s5700!
^^ cheers matey, the 10x zoom does sound good, but the 570is has such great reviews and the s5700 has average reviews! S5700 is cheaper though! How are images coming out on full zoom? are you having many issues with camera shake?
Anyone used either of the above or have any opionions on them?
