    The cameras others have recommended, while very good are not in the same category as the sx230 hs.

    The sx230 hs is a compact super zoom where as the other cams like the s95, lx5, s100 are premium compacts, with a much smaller zoom range (but are better in low light). Atkinsons ricoh grd4 is another entirely unique beast in its own right.

    If you are wanting a compact super zoom much like the sx230 hs I personally would go for a lumix tz18. firstly because its a great camera with a great lens and has the best lens stabalisation ive seen on a compact super zoom. and also becuase the sx230 hs is an ergonomic nightmare. Its probably the worst designed camera ive seen in a long time. takes great pics, but it feels awful.

    the tz20 is good too, but the only difference to the tz18 is that the tz20 has gps, touch screen and FULL hd video as opposed to 720p hd, all these extras are not important to me.
