Hi Jane,

Sorry I didn't get to reply to your original thread in time...

I was going to type up another extensive list of differences, but I tried google and it turns out the job's already done for me. This message board thread includes an extensive discussion of the pros and cons of these two cameras, and should help you out immensely.

Good luck!

Hi Jane,
The S6000 is, I think, a better deal. Ben just linked to a thread that says everything I would have said here, so I will just add to his answer and say that I think the biggest advantage of the S6000 is the larger sensor- although it only has one more megapixel than the S5200, that larger sensor really does result in better image quality. The high ISO numbers are also helpful especially when using the zoom, although you will experience some graininess it's still nice to know you can shoot under almost any lighting conditions and get some sort of usable result. I think the extra control allowed by the S6000 makes it worth the price difference.

Thank you all very much. I've just about decided to get either the S6000 or S9000.

After I purchase the camera I may need your help again.

Do any of you know how reliable Buydig.com and ShopUSA.com are? They both have better prices than anyone else. Please let me know.

Thanks!

Jane,

I used Buydig to buy my Canon A60 ages ago. They were good to me then, but I've heard that they often use the old call-to-confirm-order trick, wherein they give you the hard sell for accessories and whatnot. If you're good at telling people no when they try to sell you things you don't need, they might work out for you. ShopUSA.com is a new one to me, but a) they seem to be dedicated to shipping FROM the US TO northern Europe, so unless you're living in northern Europe they're probably not the site for you.

Good luck!
