    I have this exact camera. It is sitting in front of me so I'm sure. I really don't remember what I paid for it, but I did NOT pay anywhere close to $688.00! I know that because I've NEVER paid that kind of money for a camera. Read more

The Sony DSC H10 has a great battery life which can take up to 310 pictures while the Canon Powershot SX110 has a poor battery life which can take up to 200 pictures. The Canon is good at making pro level cameras while the Sony makes very good point and shoot
