considering the AF motor issue... well, then D7000 will be a better choice  nod.gif

No idea about Sony, Panasonic & Fujifilm.
Tested myself XZ-1, P310, G12, S95 and S100.

S100 is around 1000-1200 if i remember correctly, while G12 is around 1400 now.
If you want full control on your pictures, in other words you are going to change setting etc on the camera to get a better picture, go for G12. It is better in terms of control. but it is not really "compact" compared to others.

P310 is a good camera which is similar to S100. pricing is around 1200-1400 (the last time i ask is March)
XZ-1 is also a similar camera. I won't consider S95 if you can afford the 1000+ camera.

So, P310, XZ-1 and S100... 3 of these are all good enough for me to take daily shot, travel shot and etc. So you just go try out and see which camera feels right for you, and which camera output picture is nice from your point of view.

so can i consider G12 if i neglect the size issue??? is it better than the other camera listed??
i might consider XZ-1 and S100...which one is better???
should i consider the ELPH 520 HS/IXUS 500 HS??? smile.gif

in terms of full control over exposure, shutter speed, aperture... i feel more comfortable with G12.
But again, it is depends on your need. do you play with all those settings? if not, just go for XZ-1 and S100.
XZ-1 VS S100? for me it is hard to compare... XZ-1 is good where it has bright lens, while S100 good at high ISO pic... so still i suggest you really try them out personally. they are both good. you can read the thread in this forum on XZ-1 and S100 for some brief idea about these camera.

ermmm xz-1 lack in term of size but the review said it better than s100...i juz can make the decision lor.. sad.gif
xz-1 cost higher than s100 right??
which one of the camera have an accesories that can upgrade it?? i mean the lens or the flash?? sad.gif
