Canon PowerShot SD 1100 VS Olympus Stylus 840?

Question

Both have their pros, neither really have cons. The Olympus has some really nice features, more optical zoom, panorama mode, and dual image stabilization, whereas the Canon only has optical image stabilization. But a Canon is a Canon and that speaks for itself.

Please check the sites and read/research a little before you state out your opinion. Also let me know if you own one of the 2... or an earlier model of the 2. I am torn between the 2 and would like some helpful opinions/input on the matter. Thanks!

Answer 1

Well, I am a Canon fanboy, owned a different canon every year for the last 8 years, and loved them all.  So you definitely can't go wrong with the 1100 (I have the SD800 and it is great)

But I read about the Stylus 840 and that sounds pretty excellent as well.

So I don't know, flip a coin?

Have you had either brand before?

Maybe there is one particular feature on one of them that fascinates you the most?

Maybe you could buy them both from a retailer that will let you return one or the other with no restocking fee, try them out for a week and see if you like one better than the other?

It sure looks like you would be very happy with either choice.

Good luck and have fun.  Buy one sooner, not later, so you can start saving memories ASAP.

Answer 2

i think i am right person to help u because i have canon Sd1100

first of let me tell u alatest.com is top rated and trusted site for reviews as it contains expert as well as users reviews.

following r 2 links:

Canon powershot SD 1100: http://alatest.com/canon_powershot_sd110...

olympus 840: http://alatest.com/olympus_840_stylus_84...

canon is 100% better than olympus.

if u can slightly increase your budget i advice u to buy : Canon power shot SD870 IS as it scores 99\100 here is the link:

http://alatest.com/canon_powershot_sd870...

if u cant increse ur budget go for  : Canon PowerShot SD 1100

my aim is not to confuse u again as both are of same series the thing which is important if u r spending money it should be worth off.

MY ADVICE AND VERDICT:SD1100 AND SD 870IS ARE EXCELLENT .

but SD870IS is slightly better than SD 1100 in terms of looks,sleekness,flash recovery time,lcd quality and canon SD870IS is also known as IXUS 860IS ixus are finnest series of canon and around this budget 200-270$ it excels in its own innovative way .

hope u decide the best read all expert reviews from alatest links given by me and then decide, i hope u like canon  power shot SD870 IS
