I'm looking to upgrade from my aging SD870 IS and get a larger camera. I'm not yet ready for DSLR, but I want to be able to expand my zoom. I have been researching this for probably 30 hours and can't make a decision. My girl is having our first child and the SD870 IS has horrible low light so this will be for that as well.
I like the features of the Fujifilm HS10 and HS20 but the build quality is generally crap and I don't want to risk it so those are out.
I love the looks of the Panasonic DMC-FZ100 but the new MOS sensor has some issues that need to be worked out. I would go for the FZ40 but I want to be able to do 1080 recording.
The Nikon P500 looks solid, great reviews.
The Sony DSC-HX100v looks great, I'm afraid of all the overpriced proprietary crap I will have to get for it though. It will already be at least $30 more than the Nikon, which isn't a big deal though.
Does anyone have any experience or know-how on any of these?
