Canon Powershot SD4000 vs SD4500
31019
Image qualitly for sd4000 is good. The video is wonderful - very good in low light with a f/2.0 lens. The SD4500 had higher definition video at 1080 as opposed to 720 on the sd4000. The S95 has more manual controls. I like this camera except - no F/2.0 lens, no zooming when shooting video. My fav is the SD4000.

I'm deciding between this camera and Canon's new PowerShot 12.1MP w/ 4x zoom. Opinions, anyone?

I am wondering the same thing.I chose the SD4500 over the S95 because it has HD 1920x 1080 Full HD movie and because it has a 10x zoom lens..If anyone can point out why I should have went with the S95 instead please let me know.

Depends on what you need. 45mb/s works well for just portraits. And even fine for speed as long as you shoot in jpeg. But I was shooting fast in RAW on full frame and 45 was not doing it for me. But if it says 45 then it is. But if you have no problems no need to upgrade

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/

Hello, The SD850 is the upgrade of the SD700 hence the 35-140mm. While, the SD870 is the upgrade of the SD800 both have 28-105mm. See the SD850 review here for more details: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_sd850-review/index.shtml

I am partial to Canon and am excited to see they are introducing a model in the rugged, waterproof class. I previously used the first generation waterproof Olympus Stylus and after it broke moved to the Pentax Optio W series. It has been a good camera as far as durability, but it just doesn't produce photos like our Canon Powershot SD1000. As far as the post question, I can't wait to see some product reviews/comparisons. Based on my previous experience with the Stylus line, I am ruling out the Olympus. Although right now I am leaning towards the Canon based on previous experience with their products and superior photos. However, the Panasonic offering higher video quality in HD format is enticing.

A camera with more than 20x zoom is not going to be much smaller than the S 4500.

Not familiar with the S120, but I'm relatively happy with the P340 as a small point-and-shoot that has Nikon RAW (most just do JPEG). It really depends on familiarity with the Nikon v. Canon interfaces. Since my other cameras are Nikons it was a more logical choice for me. Hope that helps a bit.

I own the older sd700is and it is a great little camera. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the digital elphs.If I were to replace it today I would get the sd880is because of the wide angle lens.

The Nikon Coolpix p500 also has impressive zoom, 35x, the burst shooting works differently, but that might not be an issue for you. At $349, it's running about $50 less than the Canon sx40 right now.

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

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.

The 50D should be better at high ISOs so, considering your interest in shooting in low light, it might be worth serious consideration. If you can get away with longer exposures at lower ISOs (less noise/better picture quality), the 40D should be fine. If you need a faster ISO and shutter speed to avoid motion blur,the 50D would be a very good choice.BTW, do you have a link to the sort of photos you're interested in? Just curious.

The Panasonic is more expensive (list price), but as mentioned, have a greater zoom, a larger LCD with double the resolution of the SD940, and will let you use optical zoom while recording clips, but is a bit bigger in size than the Canon SD940.

After much research I choose the Canon SX700. Love the camera. I have Canon EOS equipment so a often lean towards Canon.

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).
