The SX100 has a 10x zoom lens; a compact camera will not have this feature. How important is the extra zoom to you? The SX100 uses 2 AA batteries; you can buy rechargeable AA's and a decent charger for about $30. A subcompact camera will use a specialized lithium-ion cell and a dedicated charger. If your batteries go dead, the SX100 can use alkalines or disposable lithiums (available in any grocery/drug store) while the subcompact camera requires you to recharge the specialized battery. If you can live without the extra zoom and don't care about the ability to use both rechargeable and disposable AAs, then consider the Canon SD850 IS as an alternative for about the same price as your SX100. For me...I'd probably want the extra zoom, but that's just me. Maybe the pocket thing is more important to you. You’ve got to decide what it is you want to do.

The SX100 is a great little camera with a lot of features. Yes, a rechargeable battery is a good feature, but even better is the ability to use industry-standard rechargeables. Get yourself two sets of quality NiMH rechargeable batteries and a 15 minute charger; usually you can buy the two together. Buy a name brand (Energizer, Duracell) and not a store brand. Expect to spend about $30 to $40. Now you'll have two complete sets of batteries, can recharge more quickly than even the best camera, and will never miss a photo because of dead batteries. When your batteries wear out (and they all will) replacing them will be easy, and inexpensive. Keep the camera. Enjoy it! The SX series is new from Canon.

Just go out and shoot. You don't need to be a pro to shoot good pics.... just shoot, shoot, shoot. And post your images on flickr.com or get an Apple MacBook and use the phenominal iPhoto program.. simply amazing to use... hope this helps......just go out and shoot... and only expect to keep about 5% of your shots... trash the rest... you will be amazed at what you are able to do if you stick to this rule.... jp Yes, keep it.

It runs on a lithium rechargeable battery, is small enough to fit in your pocket. Takes multiple pictures very quickly, and is a very simple point and shoot camera. You can get a decent one for about 200.00, and you will love it. Go for the Sony cyber shot. It runs on a lithium rechargeable battery, is small enough to fit in your pocket.
