It is my 1st bridge camera, so I am no great judge. But the reasons I chose the P610 over the P900 were:1. Weight and size2. I could use a lower ISO because the VR would be more effective on a lighter camera.3. The closer focusing capability of the P6104. The fact that it got a TIPA award - so likely to have less glitches.Any case, after using the camera for a few days I have concluded that it has a great lens and sterling image stabilization capabilities. It suffers from the normal small sensor handicaps, so it is no DSLR killer.Here is an image of a Pheasant-tailed Jacana that I shot with the camera today. It is shot at full zoom, ISO 100 and is only slightly cropped and resized.Cheers!SumitKolkata, India</blockquote>
