Hi,

I am very confused with the different models of Canon and Sony. And I am not able to decide which camere to buy - Sony DSC H2 or Canon S2 IS / S3 IS. Please help me in selecting the best.

Why only canon and sony? Have you looked at the Panasonic FZ series? FZ7, FZ30?

Could you please let me know if Panasonic has better features than Canon or Sony

Just for what it is worth, I have owned the Panasonic, the Sony, and the Canon. If you are not going to do much low light level shooting, the Panasonic would be a good choice. IMHO the Sony and the Canon both have much lower noise signatures than the Panasonic. Your best buy would be either the Sony H-1 or the Canon S-2. Both are excellent cameras. Perhaps if you could tell us a bit more about your budget and the kind of shooting you do, we can break it down even further.

I am new to digicams and bought the Sony CybershotDSC-H1 about a month ago. I absolutely love it.

A terrific reference source for this camera can be found at:
