SX130 vs SX210

by Slant6ix Jan 24, 2011 2:01PM PST

I've read a lot about the SX130 and decided to go ahead and order it. BUT just as soon as I did that I find out about the SX210... This is where my dilemma comes in. Should I return the SX130 and get the SX210? OR just keep the SX130.

This is my first P&S camera so I obviously don't know what makes a camera good or bad, which is where I'm interested in the opinions of more experienced photographers.

For anyone that might wonder I plan on using the camera to just get my feet wet with photography. I like macros & DoF photos.

SX130IS - SX210IS

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Jan 25, 2011 6:24AM PST

The specification for the two cameras is just about the same.
They both produce excellent photos.

I don't see where the SX210IS has an advantage over the SX130.
It does have 14 megapixels as to 12 megapixels on the SX130IS.
But that is hardly an advantage when 12 is more than enough.
