Have you looked at the SD870? It has a 3" screen, viewfinder, and 3.8x optical zoom.

Size is a big difference for me. The A710IS is a bit larger. Also, the top ISO for the A710IS is only 800. Also, I believe the A570IS has video capability while the A710IS does not.I was debating between the A570IS, A710IS, and SD750, and finally settled on buying the A570IS because of it's size, performance, relative ease of use, cost, and batteries.

I have ordered the SD 800 and was unsatisfied in that even though it is attractive, the quality of it is not great, it feels like it's made of plastic and it's extremely light. The SD 900 is definately more durable, I stopped in a local electronic store and got a feel for it. The SD 800 is a lot smaller than the SD 900 and on the 800, the screen seems to be off a little, as if it is a bit slanted because of the camera's design, so it makes it somewhat uncomfortable to the eye when taking pictures. The SD 800 also has a light on top, next to the shutter button which makes it easier to shoot pics in the dark, which the SD 900 does not have. I haven't used the SD 900 but what the SD 800 does have over the 900 is that it is equipped with the image stabilization.

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.

I was also deciding on these 2 cameras as a gift for my parents and ended up going with the A570. Another difference I saw with the A570 was the Face Detection feature and the improved Red-Eye Correction - I don't remember seeing those 2 features on the A710. In addition to that, my final deciding factor was the fact that the A570 is a newer model in the Powershot series.If you haven't already, I recommend watching the interactive video on the A570 - it will highlight some of the features I mentioned and is helpful especially if you're not as familiar with the Powershot series.I also purchased the Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries which had good ratings.

I just called Canon and asked the same question. They said that one big difference is that the 830 copies and scans double sided. (I thinks that's what they said.) The 530 does not do that.

its the DYNAMIC CONTRAST RATIO. the 757 is 10 million to 1, the 857 is 12 million to 1, and the 755 is 4 million to one. if you can afford it the 757 with 10 million to one will give you a far better picture then the 755 at 4 million.

I have an SD 800is and really like it. It takes great pictures. I have taken over 1000 during the last year. The wide angle lens is a must have. The LCD display really works good too. One of the reasons I bought it was for the optical view finder. Because the display is so good even on bright days, I have never used it. Older digital cameras with less brightness required the optical view finder. I really don't see much of a reason to for it on the cameras.If I were going to buy another new camera this year I'd get the SD 870is. It is a newer design and has some improvements. I think you should by the best camera you can. If dpreview thinks it's a better camera, I'd bet that it really is. I have an SD 800is and really like it. It takes great pictures.

I was faced with this exact problem and chose the 700. Here are my reasons. The 700 has a longer lens but the 800 has a wider lens. For my shooting purposes, longer is definitely more useful. You should think about what kind of shots you're likely to shoot and decide based on that. The 800 has a newer sensor and higher ISO capabilities. The higher ISO enables you to shoot in dark light so if you often shoot at night, that might be something to think about. I doubt the newer sensor is worth the $80. It's not like the 700 had a terrible sensor.

I tried the sd800is, sd900, sd1000 out in the store and you could see that the IS was better to have than not have especially when trying to zoom it helps it the camera extremly steady. It will also help taking pictures of moving objects and just in general when getting ready to take a shot help keep the camera straight so you can easily shot when the opportunity arises. However I have decided to go with the SD850is because the wide angle lens on compact cameras is still not perfect because the sharpness and softness of picutres is to great compared to a normal sized lenses.

I had the same problem as you. I chose the A620 yesterday and purchased it off of Amazon yesterday as well. I was reading reviews and the differences between the two and they are truly miniscule (A700 has a .5" larger NON SWIVEL screen, only uses 2 batteries, and is slightly smaller), which does not at all justify the $40 price difference (according to Amazon pricing, of course :P). According to cnet and dpreview, the picture quality difference between the two is neglible and I perfer the swivel screen included in the A620. Also 6x vs 4x zoom really doesn't matter; if you want a decent picture, you wouldn't zoom too much anyways. Had the price been the same, I *may* have chosen the A700, but if I can save $40 dollars for having a slightly larger camera than uses 4 batteries, I'd choose saving the $40. All that matters to me is picture quality and they are both equal in terms of that.

Hi everybody!DO you think that the image stabilizer in both cameras (800 and 850) are the same? In Brazil, the prices are lowest to buy SD800 IS, but this resoruce is very important to my job. So, if it´s better in SD850 IS.... Could you help de to decide?Tks, Arnaldo.

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.

Per the professional reviews, the V750 also comes with upgraded software. The V700 includes Silverfast SE whereas the V750 includes the upgraded Silverfast Ai and also includes Monoco EZ Colour management solution. One reviewer concluded the real value in purchasing the V750 is in the improved software.

I too looked at both of these cameras before purchasing the D5000. this is my first dSLR and don't have much to compare it to but I have been very happy with the quality of the images it takes and it is very easy to use. I thought the canon and nikon specs and reviews looked extremely comparable and that you would be getting a similar quality camera from both companies. I decided to go with the Nikon basically because it was $50 cheaper and used the savings to buy a memory card. whichever way you go you will be getting a big step up from a standard point and shoot camera (I had previously been using a Canon SD750) I too looked at both of these cameras before purchasing the D5000. this is my first dSLR and don't have much to compare it to but I have been very happy with the quality of the images it takes and it is very easy to use.

Hello Antwoine. This is an excellent question, and one we respond to quite often. Being the Flagship in the line the F8000 series must be special in some way, and it is. The key differences are as follows: - Better Image Processing - CMR (Clear Motion Rate) of 1200 as opposed to 960 for the F7500 - Improved Black Level - Micro Dimming Ultimate w/Local Dimming, as opposed to standard Micro Dimming Pro on the F7500 As you can see this is an "All Performance" upgrade as the feature set of the F8000 mimics the F7500. Thank you very much for your inquiry! Tom Thehighdefinitionstore.com 516-931-6800
