Need a replacement camera for a stolen canon s5is

[housemouse]

Would you buy the same one or is there an upgraded model out there? I really liked that camera. I'd like to keep it in the same level of use, so no SLRs. Suggestions?

my best friend has the s3is, I have a panasonic fz-28. He bought the panasonic for his gf when she needed a new camera, they looked at the sony, the s5is and the panasonic. There is a newer panasonic, the fz-35 if you want the most current, but that should lower the price on the fz-28.

We just liked the shots from the panasonic. The canon's menus were better, but we took our own sd and memory stick to abe's of maine and tried each camera. When we got home and looked at the shots, the panasonic consistently had a better shot, especially after small touch up. The canon had more vivid colors, but could not expose my daughter who is very pale. The sony exposed my daughter, but just didnt seem to have all the ability of the panasonic. the panasonic shoots flatter more realistic color, but you can push the color up in settings on the camera or just fix on the pc when doing crops.

They changed the naming since the S5. The new models are: SX1 IS, SX10 IS, SX120 IS, SX110 IS, and SX20 IS

There may be a couple more in there as well.

I like you had the S5 and LOVED the camera, mine died and I needed a replacement.I just purchased the SX10 a few days ago and so far so good. I would have like to have gotten the SX1 but the wallet would not allow it.
