Which compact CANON?

[mfernan80]

Hello all,

What camera would you prefer between these Canon ragarding to image quality, battery, price, etc.?

Canon SD550, SD600, SD700 IS or SD800 IS?

Is it ok to buy any of the 2 last ones because of the IS? AD550 has very good photo quality (I think...) and its CCD is bigger than the other ones. ANd of course, the price is lower in SD550 than the other ones. Please give and advice between these Canon cameras...

Thanks a lot.

IMO look for flash range. After messing with these things for a while ive come to the conclusion that is a very important factor and if you want good shots lighting is key.

This is what the images will look like with a short distance flash

And then with the correct distance.

I'd take the SD550 because of the big sensor, low cost, big flash range. Next choice would be SD700 because of the 4x zoom and IS.

Same here, i didnt know the 550 was that good. That looks to be the best of the SD cameras to come out in a while.

I think im gona get one, let my sister use it.
