Digital cameras: Canon sd1000 vs. sd600
Canon sd1000 vs. sd600
by seaTown - 3/23/07 10:35 PMSo I was decided on on getting the Canon sd600, but while at circuit city I saw the new sd1000. I can't decide which one to get now!
SO my question is... is it worth it to drop about $70-80 more for the new sd1000? Or is the sd600 good enough? I saw the sd600 for $209 online at Dell's website. While the cheapest I have seen for the sd1000 is about $270-280.
I really liked the styling and size of the sd1000, but I've never seen a sd600 in person, so I have no idea how the sizes and sleekness of the two cameras compare. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Do you think it's worth it to get the new one?

The only differences:
The SD1000 has 7 megapixels, The SD600 has 6
The SD1000 has a 3 inch LCD, The SD600 has a 2.5 inch LCD
The SD1000 has no viewfinder, The SD600 has an optical viewfinder
You will see no difference in picture quality.
Both have the same lens.
Here is a comparison:

Actually, both LCDs are 2.5" and I the SD1000 appears to have an optical viewfinder as well.

Well....how about that.
It appears that Dpreview has made a typo or two in their chart.
The data in the specification reference is wrong.
The SD1000 does have a 3 inch LCD and it does not have a viewfinder, as I stated in my reply.
Here is a link to the Canon Press Release. (where I got my data)
Scroll all the way to the bottom and look at their specification chart.
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0702/07022202canonsd750sd1000.asp
If you look at the back view of the SD1000, you will see there is no room for a viewfinder because the LCD is so big.

(NT) I have notified Dpreview of the problem.

dpreview is correct

actually i have checked out the SD1000 in person and it does have an optical viewfinder and a 2.5 inch screen. You are confusing it with the 3in screen on the SD750 which is the first two pictures on the link you provided.
scroll down the the ALL SILVER camera... that is the SD1000.
Thank you the replies...
The only advantages I can see to purchasing the SD1000, are:
-Increased Screen resolution (173,000 to 230,000 pixels)
-Extra Megapixel... though it doesn't make much of a difference(6mp to 7mp)
-Better physical design and slightly smaller?
-better face detection and red-eye reduction?
-...anything else?
Apologies to.....

I looked at the SD1000 in a camera store.
It does indeed have a 2.5 inch screen and a viewfinder.
It is the SD750 that has a 3 inch LCD screen and no viewfinder.

Thanks for the input everyone! I also wasn't sure which one of these to go with, and your input really helped. (I couldn't believe my eyes when this thread was the first thing that popped up in my search results!) I wish the sd1000 had the 3-inch LCD, but I'm going with it anyway. I'm also going for a Digital Rebel XT at the same time, so it'll be interesting to see how the two compare.
rebel XT
by steepsndeep - 3/30/07 8:20 AM In reply to: Thanks by kavaXtremeGet the rebel XTi. It's a way better camera. Has 10.2 MP vs 8, and has a self-cleaning function that is needed in todays plastic bodies due to static. Additionally, get just the body and buy yourself a decent lens or two. And don't even think about it, get an "L" lens. They will remain with you for a lifetime. Spend the cash on decent lens if the only way to go. Bodies change with technology, but the lens stick around year after year. I got mine directly through Amazon. Believe it or not, they had the best price. Also, amazon has probably the best review section. Go there and look at the various lens, read the reviews and check out the pics. To me at least, it's a better forum than say dpreviews.com, which is a great site to see tests as well as pics, but it's a little too technical for my taste in this regard. beware, the lens that comes with XTi kit is just plain junk. I think i paid around 580.00 body only. Beware of online stores. If you do not check on resellerratings.com, you can get sucked into a nightmare if you don't take this important step. And finally, get yourself lens filters. Keeps the lens clean as well as protects it. I love my XTi and my canon "L" lens.
Digital Rebel XT vs XTi
by kavaXtreme - 3/30/07 10:53 AM In reply to: rebel XT by steepsndeepI looked in to the XTi, but a lot of people were talking about the under-exposure issue which made me nervous. More than that though, right now all I want to do is learn more about photography and gain more flexibility than an all-in-one offers. The XTi's enhanced features and the L lens quality are overkill for where I'm at right now. The extra ~$100 for the XTi I could stomach, but the $1,000+ for L lenses is definitely out of my budget. Until I get the skills, the cost just isn't justified. (And when I have the skills, we'll see what my bank account has to say.)

IS in SD1000?
by Godzil - 3/26/07 4:05 AM In reply to: Canon sd1000 vs. sd600 by seaTownHi

The SD1000 does not have image stabilization.
A 3X zoom camera does not need image stabilization, unless the person operating it has unsteady hands.
Image stabilization is very good to have if the camera has 6X or higher zoom.

I get your point and have other question
by Godzil - 3/27/07 11:28 PM In reply to: Canon SD1000 by snapshot2
Why should they put IS in SD800 camera (4x zoom)? Its' only "sales gimmick"?
Thanks in advance
Not only....but mostly

Image Stabilization raises the consumer price of the camera.
It also makes more money for the camera company.
If you build it......they will come.
I think Panasonic started the ball rolling.
All of their digital cameras have image stabilization.
..........
Most of the causes for blurry photos (on 3X and 4X zoom cameras) is not a shaky hand or camera.
It is a slow shutter speed.
When taking photos in low light (without flash), often the shutter speed is slower than 1/60th of a second.
Some cameras have a shake warning icon that shows on the LCD when this occurs.
At shutter speeds below 1/60th of a second, you should use a tripod to support the camera.
If you don't have a tripod....set the camera on a table, shelf, ledge, etc.
..............
On small cameras, when taking photos in low light (with flash), the flash will automatically select a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second and then control the amount of flash to get the perfect exposure.
You have probably noticed that sometimes the flash is quite bright and other times it is down right puny. The flash computer is controlling the exposure not the camera computer.
...................................
But......if a person has an unsteady hand.....image stabilization will be worth the price.
