Canon SD600 6MP vs. Canon A630 8MP??

Too late but....Don't buy camera with external AA batteries. I have a Canon A400, is the cheapest from Canon but Rechargeable batteries can make you spend more money. Buy with NiCd/mAh/lithium-ion integrated like SD600. Rechargeable AA batteries (I have Energizer 2100 mAh) won't last more than a year or two and now I have to buy more.

I've used the A620 underwater with the Canon housing, and it was absolutely awesome. It has an underwater setting that helps to filter out the excess blues that you would otherwise get. If you're going to be snorekling, make sure you use the video feature, it takes great underwater movies! Have a great trip!

Umm, the SD800 also uses a DIGIC III chip.So, with IS, it would reduce more blur than the SD 900.Btw, I have an 8MP DSLR, yet I still dont take that many shots at that 8MP, because they are just too big. I dont see the average point and shoot user taking advantage of 10MP that much. IS, yes it would definitely be useful, especially indoors. A lot of my wedding photos taken by friends were ruined due to motion blur.

The SD630 can use only SD (not SDHC, or SDXC) memory, which maxes out at 2GB since it is formatted as a FAT disk.

Both the Canon A610 and A620 have smaller screens. They also have the drawback of ISO only to 400. The Canon A540 pushes the ISO to 800 which is important for getting the photo in lower lght levels with less chance of camera "shake". The movable screen on the A620 intriqued me but them I really did not see a pressing need for it. The 620 has a longer zoom range, but again the more compact size of the A540 won the day. The A620 takes 4 AA batteries and that adds to the bulk and weight. Again, the A540 won the day because I wanted a high function, pocketable camera. I hope this helps you.

I have this camera (canon A620) and a kingston 1/2 gb SD card. They work pretty good together, no problem at all. I do not think you would have problem with kingston 1 gb, although (I want to be clear) is not the one I have.

Thanks Tech Guy. I see that it takes SDHC, and the video size limitation is fine by me. I'll have to see if I can get an a solid answer from Canon's tech support on if the 790 can take advantage of the faster in-camera processing Class 6 cards have (the upload to computer speed advantage doesn't mean much to me), and if it varies by brand. I also am wondering if I'll need to replace my current SD card reader if I do buy and use any of these higher capacity / faster SD cards.

I'm using a class 4 8GB SDHC card (Sandisk Ultra II) with my Canon S90 camera. Haven't gotten any hiccups so far and it loads images plenty fast for me. Though there are some cameras out there that will want a minimum speed from SD cards. For instance, most dslr cameras will benefit from using class 6 (minimum write speed of 6MB/sec) SD cards because it can shoot multiple frames per second. Some go as high as 9fps. There aren't very many Point and Shoot cameras that support such a high frame rate so in short they can't benefit from the latest and greatest SDHC cards.

Anyone know if the Transcend SDHC 8GB card would pose any problems with this camera? Is it fast enough? It is a class 6 card.Transcend 8 GB Class 6 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS8GSDHC6

Suggest going to canon.com and just reading the manual... seems to be at this link: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_sd_series/powershot_sd600#BrochuresAndManuals Otherwise, go to 'Service and Support' and type in PowerShot SD600. Good luck.

This seems extreme. If you can't get decent shots inside with this then I would have it checked under warranty. It's a reasonably fast lens and a reasonably long throw for the flash for a camera like this. On pbase.com I see shot after shot of indoor stuff all looking quite nice really.Also... judging from shots like flikr and pbase etc, as well as pro reviews, the a630 seems to generally have hands down better image quality than the lz7.Again... I would have yours looked at from what you are saying.

More of a comment than an answer. I'm looking as well, but it will be awhile. So far, I see very little difference because I shoot mostly full manual mode (throw back to my days before auto anything). That said, I like the WiFi and GPS in the 6D and hope it's still available when I'm ready to buy. I travel a lot, and having the extra info embedded it awesome!

Technically speaking yes. But unless you are a real photog, you won't tell the difference in your pictures. The one thing I like about the a6000 over my a5000 is that it has a viewfinder.

The full-frame sensor gathers more light more quickly and with greater clarity than smaller sensors. This means you get sharper photos with more detail. Plus you can shoot with available light almost anytime, anywhere. The 6D is an amazing camera IMHO.

I have both. Very little difference. Both are excellent for a point and shoot!

Hi Davies Chisenga, Flash model HVL-F43AM is not compatible on your A6000 camera. Vincent

Jamaica,This card will not work in your A60. CF means "Compact Flash" and is a considerably larger card than an SD. There are adapters that allow you to use an SD in a CF slot. I own an A60 also and think that I would upgrade the camera rather than spend money on a converter to use the new memory.
