Canon S70 and Fujifilm P810

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Dec 15, 2004 11:30PM PST

They are priced about the same and their specifications are very close.

The S70 has a wide angle lens - good for indoor photos of groups. And it uses lower cost Compact Flash cards as opposed to xD cards for the P810.

The P810 has a larger LCD and the ISO goes to 800.

Now, to make it harder --- take a look at the Fujifilm E550. It was introduce the same time as the P810 and it has almost exactly the same specifications. It appears to be a cost reduced P810, probably to cover a different price range. It cost about $100 less than the S70 or P810.

Here is a link to a side-by-side comparison:
