Helpful consumer’s review
Before I conducted this side by side comparison, I purchased and returned the Olympus Tough 6000, Casio EX FC-100 and Casio Exilim EX-S10. The Olympus took awful pictures. The S10 was just blah – no real feature improvements of the Exilim 5MP I have now. The FC-100 was just too big.
So yes, I am picky! I wanted a small, sexy, functioning, easy to use, superior camera. I was torn between the Canon Powershot 780IS and Sony Cyber-Shot T90. I visited with both at a retail store and was still undecided – besides Amazon prices were much cheaper. I ordered both and did a side by side comparison in my home. The Canon went back – sorry Powershot.
Here’s the scoop. Just for base leveling – I just like to take good pictures of my dogs and garden and husband and just life. I’m not a professional. I mostly post my pictures facebook or email – very rarely do I print.
Both cameras were sexy and small. Both were hefty and felt solid. Both require you remove the battery to charge it. That’s about where the similarities end.
The Canon menu interface was clunky and not intuitive. I have not used either brand of camera in the past – so I have no bias from previous experience. Simple things like changing the picture setting took a couple minutes to figure out. The Sony has a touch screen – which at first I thought was just hype. I mean really, Ashton is cute and all – but I don’t need a touch screen. Then I used it!! It rocks!! Very easy to navigate. Quick to learn and very functional.
