I was just comparing those today.I ended up going with the SD780 because a) my boyfriend has one and i like the pictures that come out of it... and b) there just were so few comments for the SD1300 ... I figured if it were a great camera, there would be more people buying it.

I was deciding between these two myself last week. I ended up going with the 780is because of the high def video as well as the inclusion of the viewfinder - which is small, but useful when you're running low on battery and still need to take pics. I just got the camera on Friday and have been taking tons of photos and they are brilliantl! I love it!

Anybody have any other comments about which of these 2 cameras to buy? Thanks!!!!

I have had the e-510 and now the e520 and im havin trouble with it too. Just seem to be soft and not vivid I think the e-510 took better photos.

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.

Why do you say " that the SX10IS will be better for photos" when this is the bottom line of the review you link: Canon's PowerShot SX1 IS has justifiably become one of the most talked-about super-zoom cameras on the market today. It takes the already capable PowerShot SX10 IS with its powerful 20x zoom and articulated screen, but swaps the sensor for a CMOS version which can deliver both HD video recording and fast continuous shooting. As such, the SX1 IS becomes the latest and arguably one of the best hybrid cameras to date, delivering 10 Megapixel stills at up to 4fps with a decent degree of manual control, along with Full HD video in the 1080p format. The SX1 IS is more than just the SX10 IS with HD and fast continuous shooting though. Canon's also fitted an HDMI port to deliver quality output to an HDTV, supplied an infra red remote control to make those HD slideshows even more convenient, and swapped both the viewfinder and screen for wider 16:9 shaped models to better-suit the HD video mode. There's also a digital teleconverter option which can double the reach of the lens without any loss of quality when filming video. The lens motor is also the improved silent mechanism used on higher end cameras and comes with RAW without need to update firmware (my additional comments...the only downside I see is the lower resolution viewfinder but I rarely use viewfinders any more anyway).

I have the Xsi and I love it. Think about whether or not it's worth $250 extra just to have video and 3 more megapixels. The Xsi has 12.1 megapixels, but that's still enough to make a good poster sized print. I think those are the two biggest differences in the two cameras, so just decide whether or not those extras are worth the extra cash. Good luck! :)

Looking at the Sony and the Powershot myself - Looks like the Sony excels in speed of taking pictures but has less of a zoom and canon has a better viewfinder and takes an add on flash- maybe someone could comment on the quality of photos and other features...

Just realized that the Color Accent mode does not exist in our newly purchased Canon PowerShot SD1300I. We are going to return it, since that was a feature we wanted. (Teens love it!) Does anyone know which of the other new Canon's out there have the Color Accent mode?

Samuel - that was a good reply, thank you! However, did you mean to say the 1200 is your better bet for well-lighted quick succession photos? Also, you might have let your wife have the black one and settle for silver! I'm curious... what is CR rating at #1 and #2? Teresa, did they also tell you that the 780 is being phased out in favor of the SD1400IS? I've seen Amazon drop the price twice in the last month or so on the 780... those are the two models I've been trying to decide between, although Samuel makes some good points in favor of the 1200...

I've been waiting for this camera to be released here in the US but after researching it I'm thinking that the SX10IS will be better for photos (in the superzoom group that is). Here's a link for an in depth review (which does not include the RAW feature since it has not been released yet). http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_PowerShot_SX1_IS/

Hi Ram, I was also undecided between a Sony and a Canon. I went with a Canon and I am very happy. I used to have a Sony Cybershot and was generally happy. I am much more happy know with the quality and built of my Canon SD1000. I checked expert reviews before buying my camera. In this case, it seems that the SD1000 is better rated than the Sony DSC-W80. Here are some links to reviews and a summary of expert ratings: Canon SD1000: http://www.smartratings.com/review/photography/digital_cameras/1144 Sony DSC-W80: http://www.smartratings.com/review/photography/digital_cameras/1323

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!

Go to http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon_EOS_Digital_Rebel_XS-vs-Canon_PowerShot_G12. It has a nice easy to read list of the pros and cons of each. I'm comparing the same two.

I would recommend a sony camera. Have had four of them and they are great. I take more than 10,000 photos a year and am sorry I bought a canon. Thought quality would be universal in all cameras. I was wrong.

The viewfinder on the 780is is a joke. It's SO tiny. I feel like an absolute moron trying to use it. Otherwise, LOVE the camera.I'm getting a camera for my friend for her birthday, and the 940is is the easy choice for me.

the 5200 is has more features, & does more for you. I would have bought that one if I'd done some research. However the 3300 is a peach of a camera for me. If you are a real photographer...get the 5200.

If you have 2 choices, then you must go and try both cameras and try to choose by what you feel. I have the Canon, its my 3rd G series (had the 9 and 11, among 6 or 7 other cameras) and overall its an amazing camera, really. Very VERY quick, with is something that can really make a differnece when hunting for that special pic. Nothing to envy in luminosity to the best reflex out there, it takes pictures with low light that are incredible for the size and price of this machine. And my favourite! the slow motion video recorder, great adition and lots of fun there. The wifi? never used it, yet!

I also have a Canon and am not impressed with it. I just purchased the Sony W170 because I have a family member who used at Christmas. I was impressed with the size and ease of use. I will have to replace all my memory cards and batteries. I am not too upset about the batteries as my Canon Sureshot took about 5 pictures and died. I even bought an extra battery, same thing. I am excited about getting the camera. Should arrive by Jan 6th.
