Can you really not adjust the resolution? I rarely need 14MP pics and would like a camera that lets you adjust res as needed.

I never thought about doing that in camera. Why? It certainly is fast enough recording pictures, and you can have the full resolution and cut down pixels for email etc in other programs. Memory is cheeeeep.

Cool,I went ahead and purcased a two GB card for it.It works well.The camera works fine... Loads of pics with two GB. I just snap away....

I'm having the same debate with myself! and as far as I can tell (novice!) the extra mega pixels won't make that much dif and I would rather have better zoom (personal pref) capabilites. I look for the increased ISO range now. From what people have told me, some of these cameras don't do so well in low light and the higher that no. is the better the pic will be with less light-that's if I understood it correctly! BTW, I have decided to get the 890, I believe it's the wide angle one of the two! good luck and enjoy-think about a warranty of some type-that was also encouraged by my photo buddies!

My thought was that it is better to have a higher resolution mega pixel. It is a better resolution and if you modify the photos by zooming or printing large photos the quality is better.

Sounds like a great suggestion, thanks. Do you use a 8G will this camera? Would I be correct in assuming you'd get about 1700 pics at fairly standard settings?

I t does. ...it's not great though. . It's like one or two mega pixels. .. not great for photos if that's the intention

I have taken a few pictures in RAW, which I then used the raw converter that came with the camera and brought in Photoshop. They both came out outstanding. It's just too much work to make all the conversion, transfers, etc. So I don't bother with it too frequently.

Nope- its a horrible camera. I had the same problem. The only way to zoom is move the camera itself.

Marsha:I am working with Windows 7, 64 bits and works fine; however, I am a photography fan, and I got a strong frustration with the quality of the converted files. It is something like 5 Mega pixels.For that reason, I bought a 20MP converter. I will receive it next week. If you have any question, please do not hesitate in contacting me, I'll be glad to share my experiences.Best regards, Ricardo

I know this is someone elses post but I am debating the same thing. I myself am looking for a high quality resolution with the crispest photos out there. I really dont care about any gps feature but whether its indoors or out I want crispness. Mostly I use it for taking photos of my toddler. Any suggestions or help?

The usefulness of added resolution all depends on what you're going to do with the images. If you're going to e-mail them, use them on a web site or make prints smaller than 8 by 10, the 5mp camera is going to be much more than adequate. If you'd like to make large prints, make prints from a small crop of an image or use the digital zoom a lot, buy the higher resolution camera. It sounds to me like you'd be delighted with the least expensive of the SD series. They are all so pocketable and portable that you'll find that you get great pictures just because you can have a camera with you all the time. I've had the SD200 (3.2 megapixel) for a couple of years and have been very pleased with the image quality. I also have a digital SLR, but I shoot much more with the tiny Canon simply because I always have it close at hand. Dive in - you won't be disappointed!

Yes I bought mine brand new years ago. I did not expect it to be a very good camera as I paid a heck of a lot for it. But I did get to lens with it one close the other far. It is totally computerized but you can do your own shooting if you wish. Here is what I can say about the camera. You would think only 14.2 mp wouldn't give you a perfect picture? Well let me tell you the pictures it gives are way to perfect and I will say I'd like to see you shoot a bad picture! As you won't. I'd buy it and have the best fun you ever have experienced!

Yes. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. You can adjust the size. It is Awesome! My wife could not find me. I had her take pictures in a couple areas and you really can't find me on the images unless you know where I was standing.

Hi david You can not zoom in ir zoom out.I dont know the camera resolution.

I was not able to find or set resolution to 46mp with this camera because instructions were in Japanese, and screen display do not follow common logic.... This is 15mp camera. Lens angle is v narrow, and camera not versatile. Do not buy this camera.

Did you try zooming in? Cause that's really all you can do. These cameras are not the top of the line I am going to add one that can do what your asking but it's about 300.00 ouch

I'm not sure. I have a 128mb in mine and I can take over 200 pics at the lowest resolution setting. I use it for work. My reports have upwards of 35 pictures each. I have to use low res settings to be able to email them to the client. Camera is good all around. The only drawback for me is the close ups are not always focused. There may be a macro seting I have not explored yet. I hope this helped.
