Suggestions, Review Comments Please on the Canon SX30IS,

I have been looking for weeks at all the digital cameras in all price ranges, 200 to 1200 bucks. I have a preference for Canon since I worked there for 10 years a long time ago, great company and quality. I never seem to see much about the Canon SX30IS, comments or reviews. I like what it has for the price and seems much more flexible than the SD790 IS I now use. Any comments or suggestion would be much appreciated.

For a little more money you can purchase the Canon G12, which is a much better digital compact camera. Additionally if you decide to move up to a dslr camera the G12 will hold a much higher resale value. .... Just my 2 cents worth

The monster zoom makes the SX20 a very versatile auto-shooter. If you are happy about putting more effort into the game than the Auto mode, your budget will also cover a Canon Rebel DSLR. Which is a more serious camera for higher quality images. Different strokes for different folks.
