The shutter lag (not shutter speed, if we are talking about the same thing) on any new cameras is negligible, but you have to know how to set up your camera.I recommend reading this article by Ken Rockwell, about how to prevent shutter lag, as well as using his links to amazon when you but your camera.http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/shutter-lag.htmhope it helps.

I just received the SD770 and I love it. I had considered the 1100 but jumped on the 770 as it was only several dollars more. The 770 is actually smaller than the 1100 and performs just as well. Picture quality is top notch, startup and shutdown is quick and it looks nice in black and silver. A few differences are the 10MP vs 8MP, the slight size/weight drop of the 770, the color schemes of the 1100, and more importantly, the better battery life on the 770. If the price difference is still negligible here on amazon I'd say you can't go wrong with the 770.

Is your SD770 made in Japan? A friend of mine picked up the SD1100 and its made in China.Thank you.

I'm deciding between these two cameras as well, and I'm leaning toward the 1100 just because it's prettier. I don't want to sacrifice too much function though... MPs aren't that important to me, but is the battery life significantly better on the 770? Also, I hate the lag between when you click and the shot itself, what's your opinion on the shutter speed (I think that's what it's called) on these things? Thanks!

If you ever get an answer to this I'd love to know it. I can't decide between these two and the SD1100. I actually bought the SD880 and experienced several pictures with dust orbs. I've been told you can expect that in a lot of cameras but I have never encountered this particular issue in any other digital camera I've owned, which is why I thought maybe I'd go with the SD790 or the SD1100. I don't care about mp, I just care about image quality, especially since a lot of my shots are of my kids indoors. So let me know how your search goes, Bella

I contacted canon and you can send to their repair center. I slammed my camera on the floor and the screen went dead. Still took great pics, but unfortunately couldn't see what I was shooting since there is no viewfinder. To repair and shipping it was $110 so I opted not to because the Canon 1100 is now $140. I love my camera. Always took the best pictures. I bought the SX110 and had to return that. Way too professional. I haven't tested it out in the store but does anyone know if the 1100 is the same size as the 750?

In this day and age, I'll make the simple statement of "don't consider megapixels (unless in conjunction with sensor size)" sensor quality, glass quality, sensor size. That's what will impact imaging quality. MP count became a very simple message that camera marketers jumped on...but through software jiggerey and goofy engineering, we started to see very low quality cameras with really high pixel counts (cell phones with 24MP??) I own the 7700 and really like it...very very good image quality, only gripe is RAW speed

M. Dean, can you elaborate a bit? I'm having the identical dilemma. Never owned a digital camera, and the SX110 looks neat, but am thrown by lack of viewfinder and bulkiness.

Funny, I was just looking at the two cameras myself and ended up purchasing the SD880IS. The SD880IS is slimmer (0.9 vs. 1.1) and has a bigger LCD screen (3.0 vs. 2.5). Granted, the SD880IS gives up a little in terms of optical zoom (4.0 vs 5.0) but that's the price you pay for having a slim compact camera. I wanted something above the run of the mill 3x optical zoom cameras out there and the 4x SD880IS fits the bill, even if I had to pay $50 extra over the price of the SD890IS. And FYI, the SD880IS is a newer camera, hence the "better" DIGIC 4 Image Processor over the SD890IS's DIGIC III Image Processor.

Bob, did you ever find out? I just ordered the camera and want to know the same thing! Thanks for any help.

I am considering CX150 or CX110. Is there any difference between those two except 16GB internal memory in CX150? I have been researching camcorder for more than week and can't decide. Now boils down to one of these two - no reasons...just due to Sony brand. I know there better rated panasonic and canon out there in the similar price range...any comments???

Actually A620 vs. SD700 is like apples and oranges. A few differences are resolution (8mp vs. 6mp), body type (pro-style vs. pocket style), and LCD type(flip and swivel vs. stationary). There are many more differences but these are some of the main ones.

Well I suppose Canon could be lying or the two techs at two different times were misinformed about the MPEG2. Since the camera hasn't been released yet, how do you know that the files are .mod? Also some sites (not Amazon) are claiming this is an HD camera. It's not, it's SD.

J. Perez --There is a lot of fanboyism going on at the beginning of this thread... and it's passed off as fact to be worse.If you're looking at these two cameras consider your needs. You already have nice canon glass so you may be better served going with the 5d II. What do you shoot? If it's sports I would definitely say lean to the D700 or look at the 7d (or 1d III as you mentioned). I personally think the 5D II has the best IQ of the bunch, but that is an opinion.Really, the two cameras mentioned here are a different beast. It's like comparing mac laptops to windows desktops. First decide if you use your camera more for sports or portraits then decide if you want the canon or nikon. J.

I don't own one myself, but I bough it for a close friend of mine and I played a lot with it, and tried everything extensively with photos and videos. I bought an SD1200 not long ago for another one, and I think the 940 takes some better pictures, but has many more features plus HD video. But can still not understand why they switched to MOV format. Is it related to HD format?

Size is a big difference for me. The A710IS is a bit larger. Also, the top ISO for the A710IS is only 800. Also, I believe the A570IS has video capability while the A710IS does not. I was debating between the A570IS, A710IS, and SD750, and finally settled on buying the A570IS because of it's size, performance, relative ease of use, cost, and batteries.

I am also on the fence - however, the 1100 was $179.00 at Tagert - got taken and $152 on Amazon and the 770 is onlt $159.00 - but I do like the blue - is the 10 megapixels that much of a difference? Is the body on the 1100 plastic?

I too am wondering the same question. Picked up the 1100IS the other day for $150 but now I see the 770IS for $160. I know MP's aren't too important on the little cameras (not DSLR's) but can't help to think the 770IS is better because of it. Anyone have a tech opinion of the two?
