Canon PowerShot SD1300IS vs. Canon PowerShot 780IS: Canon PowerShot SD1300IS vs.
55550
I weighed this decision and bought the 780. Now I wish I had bought the sd1300 because the video does not play back well on my computer. Apparently my 1 year-old dell laptop's Intel Core (TM)2Duo CPU @1.5GHz isn't powerful enough? And with just the slightest movement of a subject or background, the pictures are unbelievably blurry. I'm surprised at how different this camera is from my old(er) powershot sd600! If only that camera hadn't dropped and broken, I'd prefer it...

Hello, The SD850 is the upgrade of the SD700 hence the 35-140mm. While, the SD870 is the upgrade of the SD800 both have 28-105mm. See the SD850 review here for more details: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_sd850-review/index.shtml

The SD3500is is a superb camera, but for panoramic images, they only offer photo stiching for this model. However, the Sony TX7 or TX 9 have superb and easy to access total paroramic imaging. The Sony TX7 compared to the Canon SD3500is are both excellent cameras. However, the Sony TX 7 has the new CMOS (low light sensor) and is even more compact than even the Canon SD3500is. There is no lens that extends on the Sony either. But the Canon offers tap viewing which when in the viewing mode is a nice feature . Either camera (which I own both of the mentioned) are excellent cameras.

CNET just reviewed the new 890, and they seem to prefer the 850. http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-sd890-is/4505-6501_7-32896596.html?tag=prod.txt.1 I was at the same point as you, and will be interested to hear what others think.

I don't know what type of a camera the "CANON Power Shot SD 780 IS" is. But I know every camera has the same threads at the base of the camera for a tripod, because all tripods and monopods should have the same screws.But in all honesty, if the camera is not a basic and simple and small point n shoot, you're not going to want to hold it extended with your arm to take a photo with a 2 or 10 second timer.

Thanks for the reply. According to CNET, the shutter speeds are comparable. In addition, the cameras weigh about the same (I think one weights about 5.6 oz and the other 5.8 oz) so there is a few tenths of an ounce difference. Since I'm mostly a 4x6 or occasional 5x7 type of person, is there a difference to me at that print size between the two cameras? The price gap between the cameras is closing, so really the main feature difference for me is the optical viewfinder. And, I'm wondering if the "step ups" in the SD870 are worth it. Thanks again.

I haven't found one that perfectly suits my needs yet, though I am considering the Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1Here's a link to it on Amazon:http://tinyurl.com/q56h7qBut I'm holding out for something better until the end of this year. In which case I'll probably go with the Canon.

I have an SD1000 and just returned from Vegas where I took over 400 pics. Filled a 1G card and still had battery left. I find that the battery lasts longer with the image screen off. Don't know if the 1200 can do this. Cannot see the screen in daylight anyway. The 1200 has a nice viewfinder and the image is bigger than the viewfinder image, a good feature when cropping at home.

I've also heard that the 870 has better picture stablization. I'm disappointed that the comparison chart on Canon.com does not identify the differences very well. I'm struggling with the same question between the 2 cameras.

Don't have any S-series cameras, but as a general comparison to the other Canon PowerShot cameras we have used in the $250-300 range I would say Canon has a better charger, better focusing for outdoors (P340 seems to try to focus on leaves when trying to take a photo of a building), similar battery life, and worse flash re-charge time. The Canon might be better on shutter release lag and simplicity of controls.

I own the older sd700is and it is a great little camera. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the digital elphs.If I were to replace it today I would get the sd880is because of the wide angle lens.

You need to check out this website: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_s2-review/ this guy is incredible in his reviews. I personally have used the S1IS and the S2IS (my dad and brother bought the upgrade) and you can truly put it at 0cm and take an in focus picture. Hope this helps!

Yes, your words are elegant. All I did was point to a fine review where you can compare the inferior images from the Rebel to SX1. If you want the real benefits of an SLR with video then go to a fine machine like Nikon D90. http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_PowerShot_SX1_IS/

Yes, there is a difference. SDHC is a slightly newer specification. Right now, it is for 4GB and 8GB only. The Very Newest cameras will state specifically DS and/or SDHC, but others that may turn out to support it didn't list it in their marketing materials like this camera. It is not on Kodak's web site, but if you google SDHC Z712IS you will see some photo forums where 'experts' say it does. Note also that Amazon (search it) sells a Kodak Accessory kit with case, card reader, SDHC card, that says it is for the Z712IS. Buyer Beware, but at least with Amazon, returns are not a problem in worst case, especially when info comes from own web site. Also search for these three words in google - shamino's dealtime z712is - and this person says they use all the time. Finally Sandisk.com has a technical PDF write-up on the differences. This is a great camera!
