SD 1200 IS....how long this model is current? Should that be a factor in buying this now or not a factor?

The SD1200 has already been replaced by the SD1300, which has a wider 28mm zoom, compared to the 35mm zoom of the older model. If you take photos indoors, the wider angle lens of the SD1300 is a nice feature, worth the extra money that the new model costs.

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.

As are the camera and the 16 gb sdhc card, I menaged to record 9 min, 1.42 gb, stopping myself when the show ended. I believe that I could record longer. I cant explain what is the difference between us.

Thanks very much for your helpful response, sd940 it is. I'm upgrading from a Canon s230 (2002!) so I expect to be very pleased with the improvement!

I am in the same boat. I found that the 1200 is the "newest" model of it... And don't like it. The 1400 looks slick, but doesn't have too good of reviews. Did you find anything since then? I see you posted in Jan. :)

So that's why I can't find it! Hmmmm. I had it on my SD1000 and it was a fun feature. So, the SD780 has it? I hate to spend $44 more if there aren't any other significant upgraded features. I know there is HD video. I'll have to rethink this! :)

I am leaning towards SD1000 as well. I find it hard to justify the $100+ extra for an SD870 IS for only marginally better, and rarely used features:SD1000 v/s SD870 IS (using the Product Comparison on the Canon site):* pixels: 7.4MP / 8.3 MP* focal length: 35-105mm / 28-105mm* Shutter speed: 15-1/1500sec / 15-1600sec* Shooting speed: 1.7fps / 1.3 fps (so, actually slower!)* Screen: 2.5" / 3"* Optical zoom: 3.8x / 3xWell, the main feature on SD870 is the IS - but for an ultra compact camera point-and-shoot camera it will remain a rarely used feature.

Regular SD. I have 16GB and it will hold ~3500 18MP photos, or ~30 mins of HD video.

Is this from personal experience? I was thinking about getting a 4gb micro SDHC for it.So that's a no?

I would call Canon and bitch them out. Sadly, it seems like all the manufacturer are doing the same thing and I think it's a crock. Who wants to sit at the PC and read what I heard is a 96 page manual with COPY stamped on it. I was going to buy the 20is and found out there was no manual. I don't have to have a Canon for a P&S, I would rather find one with a manual, which I haven't yet.

I just bought the Canon SD1200 from Adorama (W.18th St in NYC) for $119.00 refurbished, and then noticed that J&R; just dropped the price to $99 (though not in the blue color that I chose). I had an SD1000 that died after 2 years from the dreaded 'fatal lens error' (it wouldn't retract) and it would have cost more to fix it than to buy this new-ish model. The refurbished one looks great. Haven't taken any pictures yet, but will check in again when I do. Not sure if I was wise, but Adorama offers a 5-year warrantee for $30.00 more that includes 2 free cleanings, and covers you if you go abroad. The Canon warrantee covers only in the US. Hope this helps.

I looked at my original order & see a new seller is listed. My guess is that if buying from Amazon they use a number of vendors so you'd have to read the fine print. I did order this for myself at the same time and I see it's still available for a good price. You might want to consider getting it just to be safe & so you have an extra on hand.

I'd also like to know the answer to this! Just ordered an SD1200IS and would like to order a case that fits. I've had trouble with Canon cases in the past also. Sure would like to have one that's made for the 1200 though, so hopefully someone knows the answer to this....

Thank you so much for you reply!! I did wind up getting the SanDisk Extreme III 2Gb. Now its time to start learning how to use the camera ;o)

* Based on specs from Canon's website, the main differences are: 1200is has 10 megapixels, the 780is has 12 megapixels (not that adding 12 MP to such a small camera will make that much of a difference anyway.) * The 1200 films its video clips in standard def in .AVI format, which is compatible with Windows Media Player. The 780 can film in HD, but clips are in .MOV format which you will need Apple's Quicktime to view, since .MOV won't play in Windows Media. * The 1200 has a zoom of 35mm equivalent of 35-105mm, while the 780 has a zoom of 33-100mm. (Not a big difference.) * The 1200 shoots 1.4 fps, while the 780 shoots 0.8 fps. (I think that means the 1200 might shoot slightly faster frames per second.) * The 780 does have some extra color features you can shoot with, such as accenting all the red, blue, or green in a photo, etc. Those are neat features, but you could do the same thing in Photoshop if you wanted to. I was trying to decide between these two myself, I think I'll get the 1200.

Incredibly helpful advice about SD cards for the S90, J. Robertson. Yours is the best advice on the subject I've seen anywhere (and that includes dpreview forums). Consider yourself uprated.
