Well said Bullitt. Good overview for sure.

Buster you may want to consider the Canon as it is the only one that uses OPTICAL image stabilization (using a "floating" lens connected to a gyroscope) as opposed to the electronic I/S of the other cameras, including the new Nikons (which are called also "anti-shake" which do the deal electronically). Canon has been in the optical I/S business since it's highly successful line of stabilized binoculars several years back which means that you can birdwatch or look at stars or ball games, etc., with much higher magnification without all the unsteadiness. Always go Optical I/S, although they tend to be a little more costly.
