Hello to all, ok people this im sure has been ask a million times but here it goes. i wanted a p&s camera, so looked and found a coolpix p90 on sale at costco for 279.99. got the camera home liked it a lot, its a nikon plus my grandfather loved nikon. So i went online to research it (i know i should have done it first) but thats old news. Some reviews were good some bad, my question is is the canon sx 1 Is, a better camera than the p90 i know there is a price jump with the canon but im willing to pay for it if its a better camera. im new to digital but want a camera that i will not out grow if that makes sense. it will be used for home, sport events,and everything under the sun if you know what i mean! thanks for your in put.

Just remember for night or indoor sports neither camera will give you good results. As for which one is better look at the reviews, and these two links: http://www.dpreview.com/ and http://www.steves-digicams.com/
