Despite the unfavorable reviews it's been getting (and I don't agree with them, my images taken with the camera look great) the Samsung SD7 is a better value.

Manual controls, image stabilization, 10mp and a better control system. For $150 less.]]>Oct 8th 2006 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/Oct 9th 2006 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/Oct 8th 2006 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/

2.8 is considered very fast for a point and shoot. ]]>Oct 9th 2006 12:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/Oct 10th 2006 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/Oct 9th 2006 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/Oct 9th 2006 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/Oct 9th 2006 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/
and to all the "no manual settings" folks.. this is geared at people who don't care about that. And frankly, I have my dSLR for that.

on the same note tho, I've made the mistake of paying too much for an ultra compact because I wanted it to fit in my pocket comfortably. just wait for it to knock itself down in price]]>Oct 9th 2006 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/
And do I disagree with the sentiment that 10mp would be too much. There's never "too much". I wouldn't compromise image quality or AF speed for pixels, but all things the same, more pixels is BETTER.

Why? Well, because of the flexibility allows you *after* the picture is taken. The SD900 has a 3x optical zoom. Want to go in further? You can get 6x at 5mp, or 15x at 2mp (which makes pretty good 4x6). With a 7mp camera, you're limited to ~10x.

You also never know what format you're going to print later, so more pixels = more options. And who gets the composition perfect every time? Having more pixels allows you to crop for that perfect frame, and still have enough pixels to blow up to poster size.

I'm going to be upgrading to a 10mp+ camera in the next month, leaving me with a 8mp SLR like and a 10mp Point-and-shoot. When the 12, 15, 18mp cameras are coming, I will upgrade (as I did from the 5mp Dimage 7i to the 8mp Dimage A2). My kids are growing up fast, and I want to leave them a legacy of moment and memories that my childhood polaroids couldn't compare to.]]>Oct 9th 2006 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/08/canon-powershot-sd900-reviewed/Oct 9th 2006 2:03PM
