Canon SD4000 vs SD1400: Has anyone done a comparison between the two models and can provide an objective comparison?

If you plan to shoot inside photos with low light, the 4000 wins. Also, for continuous "burst" shooting of fast action--kids playing, etc. However, the SD series culminating in the 1400 is a proven, smaller, stylish Elph--better for all-around use, with unbeatable Canon images. If this was my only camera, I'd go with the SD1400 (and trust my steady hand for the low-light shots).

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?

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'm also trying to decide between the SD850 and SD750...I prefer the S850 features, but this camera is so much thicker (1.04" vs 0.77"), and I was looking for a thin camera. The dimensions are on Canon's website...have you physically seen the two cameras and can you confirm the difference in thickness? I was curious that you did not mention...perhaps it's not as different as I think?

I have the Canon power shot SD1400 IS. The Tripod handles it perfectly. So, I'm sure it will do the same to the models you indicated.

I'm still debating for myself. My paper backlog isn't as big (maybe 5-7 years) and I have very limited space in my apartment (honestly not sure where I'd fit the S1500), so I'm leaning toward the S1300. BUT, if I had as much paper as it sounds like you do and the footprint wasn't an issue, I'd go for the S1500 primarily because of the speed difference, which is huge. Getting Adobe Acrobat (if you don't have it already) is also a big plus. Go to you __ tube and search for ScanSnap S1300 vs S1500. The speed difference will be really clear.

$300+ price difference between SD1400 and S90 or S95. I'll stick with SD1400 for my usage.

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

D40; better built. takes very good pictures. canon is too plasticky; higher-end canons are very good; but in this price range, Nikon is better; but this is a personal opinion.

I am not real happy with the Kodak. Their older models are better. Thinking of returning and getting the FugiFilm s5200 Better report with PC World. check out the canon ratings on this website. www.pcworld.com

I have a SD550 as well, I'm getting a Canon G9, seems to be a good all around performer from what I've read, little bigger than 550 but not as big as a Digital SLR. I plan to use it when I'm looking for better pics than 550 can provide.

As Bill Schindel said, the specs are very similar for both. For the difference in price, I would recommend the Yonguo -- you can 4 Yonguo YN-622C for the price of one Canon. I have been very impressed with the build quality and performance. While it doesn't have the LCD readout, you can control pretty much everything from the camera menus. And one thing it has which the Canon doesn't is an IR focus assist beam on the front, which works very well.

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've had my SD900 for two years. For most of that time I've wished I had gone with the SD800 for the wider angle lens and image stabilization; my next pocket digi may go as far as 24mm.

The photo quality is so similar that even an 8 x 10 enlargement is unlikely to show a difference. The SD1300 uses cheaper materials, and looks and feels cheaper. If the price was similar, the SD940 is a good buy. Today, there is a $60 difference between them, making the SD1300 the better buy.

A better comparison is the Sony HDR CX550 which has the same SDHC as the Canon. The Sony, at over 300 dollars cheaper and comparable performance seems to be the better buy.

Their pretty much the same....just that the sd600 is rechargeable so that means that you pretty much need to buy a second one if you are goin to travel or just take a bunch of pictures. Secong thing as you mention is that sd600 is slim...so is more portable.The other one just needs AA batteries..I went to walmart and bought a duracell recharger with AA bateries and it charges for 15 min. and you are ready to go....Bottom line....if you want more pictures, go with the a540...cheaper...same as the sd600
