Hi there, i owned a canon a75 which i really liked. I thought it took great pics, but it started to make grinding noises. Sears upped me to the canon a85 and i was very disappointed. I thought my 75 took much better pics and was much better in low light. I sent my 85 back and went with the fuji e550. I love this camera. The pics are excellent, it is light, has a huge lcd, and has terrific movie mode. I think i prefer it over my a75 and like it 100 times better than my 85. This is just my personal opinion and maybe i had a lemon for my 85, but i just didnt like anything about it....if u have any questions just ask me
