Comparing apples and oranges
Both Saturday and Sunday had a glimpse of sunshine in Helsinki, and I decided to carry my cameras with me for taking some snapshots of the colourful nature around us. On Saturday, I was carrying pocket size Canon Ixus 500 and on Sunday, Nikon D70.
As you may guess, the difference was huge. With Canon, I could take ordinary photos — but when I tried to get real close to some detail and have a short depth of field, I failed miserably. The camera could not focus to the objects. Maybe they were too close or the electronics decided that the subject is not focusable…
Everything was a snap with Nikon. You just point to something, zoom, focus and fire away. I was also positively surprised how fast the photo cell is, especially compared to my previous SLR, Fujifilm S1.
The resulting photos - from Nikon - were also sharp and vivid. I’m extremely pleased with this purchase, after extensive test of ten photos :)

An opinion from Asia — I’m totally agree with your opinion about Nikon camera, and, the photos that I had took and posted in my URL were all made by Nikon camera. Once you found the accurate choice of purchase, you won’t see the others.
