Do you have one of these cameras? Need opinions
Amazon.com: Canon PowerShot SX100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black): Camera & Photo
Amazon.com: Canon PowerShot A720IS 8MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom: Camera & Photo
Amazon.com: Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom: Electronics

I want a new camera. I have been researching for days and these are the ones it's come down to. Amazon.com: Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom: Electronics is also an option, but it's a lot of money and I have no desire to go pro or even semi-pro. I just want to take good pictures of my kids. The G9 has all the features I want except it seems like it'd be too heavy or bulky.

Any one have any of these cameras and can give a personal review?

I know this is an old post, but I just got this one and I like it so far. Keep in mind, though, that I know squat about photography. The pictures in my Christmas pictures thread were taken with that camera. I love the zoom on it!

I ended up going with the A720IS and I couldn't be happier with it.

We got this a few months back and love it. My parents bought one first and then we got one.

One thing that really struck me, is that in our situation and I am sure there are others, we had a $500 camera from a few years back and felt like, well we have this expensive digital camera. However, the technology has gone up so much and the prices come down, that spending $250ish (I think we actually paid less than that but got a memory card) we got a camera that was sooooooooo much better than our old one. I even like taking the little movies with this thing. Anyhow, this new camera makes our old digital photos look so bad lol I wish we had upgraded sooner. One of my goals it to really learn how to use this camera because it does a lot!

Yeah I want to learn how to use it too, maybe buy another lens for it. It has been my best camera so far.
