SD600 or SD 700: I am considering these two cameras for a b-day gift for my fiance' so I am wondering are the few extra features with the SD700 worth the extra $80?

I just purchased the sd700 because I read good reviews and most mentioned that the stabilizing zoom works real good. Other contributing factors to getting this camera were the LCD size, operating speed and camera size.

Both are nice cameras. I own a700 and a900, bought the a99, difficult to get used to. Totally different beast. If you get one, do not get rid of the 700 until you are convinced. Joe

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.

As far as camera quality and picture quality, etc, they are equivalent?I purchased the T700, didn't realize there was a T77 available. I am considering returning and getting the T77 because of the price.

Thank you, Ellen. Your information is helpful. I'm probably going to go for the Canon 810 instead of the 600. With your and MLipenk's feedback, I believe I can now move forward on this with confidence.

I can't decide between the SD750 and the Cannon 1100..the 1100 is a better price and has image stabilization, but I love the look and feel of the 750 as well as the way the pictures look..have you used the 1100 at all? What made you go for this camera a year after it was released once u dropped it the first time? did you not want to upgrade?

I was faced with this exact problem and chose the 700. Here are my reasons. The 700 has a longer lens but the 800 has a wider lens. For my shooting purposes, longer is definitely more useful. You should think about what kind of shots you're likely to shoot and decide based on that. The 800 has a newer sensor and higher ISO capabilities. The higher ISO enables you to shoot in dark light so if you often shoot at night, that might be something to think about. I doubt the newer sensor is worth the $80. It's not like the 700 had a terrible sensor.

I have been tossing and turning over this very same dilema. After MUCH research, I have settled on the sd800 for the following reasons: #1- The .28 wide angle lens (great to have indoors and for group shots!!) #2- 7.1mp is PLENTY! Don't get up in the more mp is more trap! It just slows down picture taking, transferring and printing. Unless you are literally making posters, it is impossible to distinguish any difference between 7mp and 8mp. #3- The 2.5" screen looks huge in person, but the 3" (which I thought I wanted) leaves no room for your right thumb. This might sound stupid, but I've held both cameras, and it felt like I had to really work to keep my thumb off of that 3" screen (again, avoid the "more is more" draw). These, along with the price were enough to tip the scale for me. Hope this helps!

I was looking at them both and decided on the 850 some of the new features won out and it still does well with out the wide lens because it lets you combined images right in the camera to give the same effect. Also the 850 was on sale at bestbuy.com today for 248. Also battery life is better with the 850.

If money is not a factor, the D60 is a better camera. However, the D40 is so much cheaper for only slightly less functionality, so the price difference is hard to justify. If you want to spend more money, go for the D80 instead of the D60.

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'm also curious about this camera as it compares to the Sony SD1200 and the Sony SD780. Any comments from the group?

Panasonic sd 60k get more picture wide len and more zoom and &lt;&lt;optical&gt;&gt; image stabilization. I got them both and in the end of testing, I return sony cx 150. there is one down side thou the 3.5 hour battery is expensive for panasonic. and sometime the auto white balance is a bit slower but in the end it all good.

I would go with the sd940 it seems to have the most bang for the buck. For only $20 you get a wider angle and faster lens (lower f-stop better for low light conditions). Considering that these are generally the 2 most expensive upgrades with point and shoot cameras (usually about $100 per f-stop) I think its a great deal right now. From what I've seen the image quality isn't as good with the sd960 as the sd940 (its an earlier model, maybe because of different lens of sensor?) Hope that helps

I'm certain that both above mentioned cameras produce excellent images. They both have high resolution 3 inch screens, but to say P7000's images are better because they look better on the camera's LCD screen is akin to saying one blonde looks better than the other one from 100 yards out. You can't really make a meaningful comparison until you've uploaded the files to the computer and view them under magnification.

Thanks, Mey, that really helps and makes me feel much better about trying out the SD750. I have ordered it and am waiting for it to arrive...can't wait to try it out.
