Kind of wondering what makes this one so expensive though. I mean, my Powershot was dirt cheap for all the features.This SD790 seems a bit expensive to me.]]>Apr 5th 2008 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 5th 2008 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/
One thing I have to ask though; where does this fit in to the rest of the current ELPH line? Model-number-wise, one would think this would be the "low-end" unit compared to the SD870 IS, the SD1100 IS, and SD950 IS, but I assume that isn't the case (i.e. I understand the SD1100 IS is at least cheaper).

I guess what I'm wondering is, what does this do that the other current ELPHs don't do, and in turn, what do the other ELPHs do this one doesn't? ]]>Apr 5th 2008 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 5th 2008 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 5th 2008 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 6th 2008 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/
By the way, I would wait till someone other than PC Magazines reviews it :) Flickr camera finder is also an excellent resource as you can see the cameras results from real use situations by real people.]]>Apr 5th 2008 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 5th 2008 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 5th 2008 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 6th 2008 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 6th 2008 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 6th 2008 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 6th 2008 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/
Good call on the wideangle. Having a DSLR with a 17mm (28 equiv) lens, I find it very frustrating using a canon compact (A570IS) with a 35mm equivalent lens. The extra width really is useful a lot of the time. Certainly, my next compact will be a 28mm or wider equivalent lens. ]]>Apr 6th 2008 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/
Damn though, 10 megapix is nearly the same as my DSLR >.>]]>Apr 6th 2008 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/Apr 6th 2008 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/05/canon-powershot-sd790-is-reviewed-predictably-great/

sd400-> sd500-> sd600, amongst others that i won't bore you with. all very similiar with a "normal" size screen in relation to other cameras each year,

then came the sd700IS, and the SD600 wasn't updated when that came out. This one changed the form factor and added the image stabilization.

The SD630 came out around the same time, nearly identical to the SD600 but with a bigger screen (and more focus points, but the difference in these two was pretty much nothing)

They discontinued the SD700IS in favor of the SD800is pretty quickly, and they also came out with the SD900, which was 10 megapixels, but ended up being very noisy at high ISOs, and they put the higher megapixels on hold for a couple generations.

So there were three types:
basic big screen early image more pixels
stabilized
sd600 sd630 sd700is sd900
| | | |
v v v v
sd1000 sd750 sd800is on hold a bit
| | | |
v v v v
(starting here, they put image stabilization in all of them)
| | | |
v v v v
sd1100is sd870is sd850is sd950is
(still (3"screen) (2.5"screen) (more pixels
basic)

Sooo, I personally don't see LOTS of sense in the numbering of the cameras, but maybe the summary helps.
(and sorry if i bored any of you, i warned you to stop reading.)]]>Apr 6th 2008 9:32PM
