canon sx110is vs nikon l100

I've been needing a new camera for a while now but have held out for something I really like. I believe I have narrowed it down to one of these two. Any suggestions on which one is better for the money. The one thing I really don't like about the Nikon is you can't use rechargable batteries. Was also looking at the Fujifilm 1500.

Image Stabilization is a great feature. It would allow you to take pictures under lower light situations and not have to worry so much about camera shake causing blurry shots. I believe that's what the IS stands for on the canon you listed in the title.

Thanks for the input! The Canon is the one I am leaning towards simply because the Nikon does not use rechargeable batteries.

I've been using Canon for 3 years now. Absolutely love it! I think JuddB also shoots with Canon (have to check with him on that) You can't go wrong saving up a little more and getting a base DSLR.

you can buy rechargeable AA batterys if you want. i understand the frustration of them not coming with the camera first though.

I have rechargeable batteries, however, rechargeable batteries will cause the Nikon to not work properly. This means I would have to buy A LOT of batteries.

i have a few friends that are photographers and they said its just a matter of brand preference. both are excellent brands that are going to give you a good a camera, just go with the one that feels more comfortable to you.

Well went with the Canon and love it. i'm learning how to use it still but so far it's been great.
