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 would get the SD880. Mainly because it has a faster and wider lens. You can capture more of the scene in your pictures, and under lower light conditions. Also, the Digic IV processor has some neat features. The SD880 has a slightly lower zoom than the SD890. But I don't think it's much of an issue, depending on the types of pictures you like to take. Also, the SD880 doesn't have an optical view finder. If that's important to you, then you might want to consider the SD890 instead. Personally, I have never used the view finder in my previous PowerShots. I always use the LCD screen. If the price difference is only $10, why not go for something new instead of something old? Get the SD880. :-)

Ok so this is what I'm going off of. The Cannon SX10IS is the same price as the P90 but the P90 has 24x zoom and 12.1 MP... The price differential came from somewhere. I'm putting my bets on the image processor. I personally own the SX10IS and I could not be happier. My friend who owns the Cannon Rebel XSi tries to say how his buy is much more justified. So far the only things I have found better is his white balance, optional remote trigger, and the capability to shoot in RAW. Otherwise our cameras are very similar.

I am also comparing the two and cannot make a decision. Help, please. I am not that interested in video, but most concerned with qulaity of photo (true colors & sharpness) and the use in low light (indoor). I have concerns about the flash and what I have read is not too promising. Is one of these cameras better than the other in low light situation....without the use of 'flash'?

I was told this when I asked the same question on another forum: "the SD800IS had a better constructed body and feel, the SD850IS felt cheap when you A/B them. The power button is very small for a camera of this size. It requires most to use their finger nails to activate. Lastly, the shutter lag is longer on the SD850IS. The SD850IS is more of the SD700IS's successor rather than the SD800IS. The body style is exactly the same and it uses the same 35mm lens rather than the 28mm.... There are a lot of people who really liked the wide angle lens part of the 800IS. You can take better indoor, landscape etc. pics." I went with the 800 IS in the end.

If you are looking to take a lot of indoor photos with flash, the Canon XTi has a faster flash than the Nikon D40x. We tried the Nikon first since we were told of the better lenses that come standard, the ease of the menus, and more free stuff from the store where we purchased. We exchanged it for the Canon. We have young children that can be hard to catch in the moment when you are having to use the flash. I wasn't looking for all of the other things this type of camera has to offer...just to take fast, flash photos. The Canon wins that hands down.

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at Lexar Professional 400x 16GB SDHC UHS-I Flash Memory Card LSD16GCTBNA400 . I am happy to say the choice was on the money as this card is amazingly fast, and greatly improves the use and experience with this camera. Hopefully this helpful, good luck!

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.

I originally bought the Sony W90 based on specs. My first one was defective. It took pictures, but only the pictures in very bright light were acceptable. I exchanged for another W90 and although better, it still had VERY high levels of noise even with flash. I returned that one and bought a Canon 800IS. The Canon has taken EXCELLENT pictures even in low light. The image stabilization works well and the pictures taken with ISO 1600 are about the same noise level as the sony at 400 and 800 ISO. At 800 ISO the Canon produces better pictures than the Sony at 100 ISO. For my money...The Canon is better hands down.

The S95 has a wider angle, faster lens, with a larger sensor resulting in sharper images and better low light capabilities. It also has manual controls and raw shooting capability, HDR mode, boost ISO, noise reduction and advanced image stabilization . The SD4500 sacrifices image quality to achieve the larger zoom and 1080p video. The S95 has the best IQ of any point and shoot out there (close to a DSLR) IMHO.

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.

Alice, I won't defend some of the SX40's faults - like taking shots in low light - but in over 20,000 photos with this camera, I've had no problem with it being slow EXCEPT in "Auto." Canon changed the processor from the 20 and 30 and came down from 14 to 12.1 MP to speed up the Powershot, and they succeeded. I would suggest you give the camera a workout in Av, Tv, P, or manual modes.Otherwise, I've used a Sony and an Olympus and have see the "Busy" signal more often than an old telephone.

The Canon SX10IS is much better than the Nikon P90, despite having a shorter zoom and less Megapixels. Image quality and responsiveness is what you should be looking for, and the P90 does not have either of them.I would look also at the Panasonic FZ28, specially if you prize weight - this is the choice I made, after testing Nikon, Canon, Panny and Olympus.

You want the A710 IS. There is just no comparison to the others.The other two are only 3x zoom and lack key features. You will hate yourself the next day. For the $40 difference, how many photos do you think you will take? A thousand, 5 thousand? So the cheapest one will save you a penny a shot?And the Canon cameras have so many features that typically are only found in big, expensive Digital SLRs.

I bought SanDisk Extreme Pro 16GB 95MB . Also has a number 3 and a number 10 in a circle. The Extreme Pro is good if you don't want to have a long wait between flash pictures. It is fast. Make sure you get the right memory card or you will be disappointed in the camera's speed.

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.
