I am having a big decision to make.. Help me decide. Been using Sony's cyber-shot DSC-H10 since 2006. I LOVE this camera and it fits perfectly into my petite hands. But, after tens of thousands of pictures it has given out and I must replace it. But with what! I don't want to deal with a camera and separate lenses, what would you all suggest that would be comparable to my H10. I take pics of wildlife , grandkids in motion, people and landscapes.
I like the Sony (especially those with the Ziess lens) and Canon long zooms but they seem too bulky. I also don't want to pay high dollars. suggestions??
(I am leaning towards the Sony DSC-HX300 even though it's seems bulky.)

My daughter & I shopped for a P&S for her trip to france. The reviews on the Canon HS50 are impressive but her fingers were a bit too long to hold it comfortably. The Sony HX300 was a mush better fit. Of the two the Canon felt less bulhy but would have been less comfortable so she chose the Sony. Her photos of France were impressive. I'm sure the Canon would have done as good a job. For smaller hands, as my grand daughter has i would send her to the Canon.

Welcome to our forum!

It's good you've limited you choices to Sony. Now comes that tough part: getting a good camera for a low price. Take a look at the link below, at the RX100 cameras. They've gotten great reviews, and the prices are lower.

When you narrow down your choice, go to snapsort to compare features.

Firstly welcome Bogey. Have a look at this link from the search facility at top of this page. Many people rave about this Canon, and just 1 lens as you like......
