Its a good camera once you get hold off it. First pictures are always shaky though it has OIS. You need little time to get familiar with the camera. |

I own Fuji HS10 and my cousin owns the SX20IS. we generally travel a lot togather and have been comparing the pic quality and all on both camera models. Some how we both came to a conclusion that if you are a P&S type person, Canon is the one for you. But if you want to play around P,S,A,M modes and other features Fuji is the one that is a clear winner. HS10 has various features such as panaromic, moving object removal and the 30X zoom. After using both cameras back to back on several occasions i would recon the Fuji HS10. Hope that helpls. If you have further doubts or queries on the HS10 model, you may PM our member vivekiny2k. He too owns a HS10 and I often taken advise from him. Do update on your final outcome. Cheers! | |

If you want to play around with custom settings then h55 is the camera for you. L110 doesn't have much manual control. H55 is a compact camera. Its easy to carry around that. |

| ![]() Also, I can get a panasonic fz38 from smatshoppers or in the grey market for 16k. But it only comes with a 3 or 6 months vendor warranty. How safe would it be to buy the cam from the grey market? Will it be reliable? Will there be any problems for servicing? I have never bought any electronic goods from the grey market, but this time , I am tempted to. Last edited by anusha_snh : 16th August 2010 at 01:51. |

And given the results i would discourage you from buying a Sony unless you only want to shoot close range daylight pictures. ![]() | |

After that you can buy a 100,000 point logger for aorund 40$ or so from ebay etc., These are rechargeable, and last around 15-16 hours on a single charge. After you return from your trip, you geotag your pics using gpicsync or related software. I use the same methodology. | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() A logger will work independently. This is how you would work. On your trip you would switch on the logger, and it would start logging your position in gpx format. This trail is with timestamps in GMT format. Carry the logger in your pocket(basically near the camera) your camera would be set to IST, or Indian standard time. When you come back from your trip, you need to give the following inputs to gpicsync software(its free software) 1. GPX file recorded by the logger 2. Path to image folder(where you have downloaded the images from your camera) 3. GMT offset which is 5.5 hours in our case The software would read the gpx file, and determine from image timestamps and gpx point timestamps about where the image was taken, and add the data to the EXIF or IPTC header as chosed by you. All the pics I take on my trips are geotagged this way. As for the loggers, you can buy holux, its a good brand DealExtreme: $52.36 Holux M-1200E Bluetooth GPS Data Logger another one DealExtreme: $41.90 65-Channel Car Navigation and Tracking Bluetooth GPS Receiver + Data Logger Basically buy one of these along with your camera. You can charge it in the car. There are many other variants also available. |
