Canon SD600 6MP vs. Canon A630 8MP?? I'm a novice upgrading, and cannot decide between the two Canons. The SD600 is smaller and I'm inclined to go with it, but I'm wondering if the A630 produces much better quality pictures. Any input much appreciated! Canon SD600 6MP vs. Canon A630 8MP??

YES, the A630 produces much better pictures. If you're a fan of the A-series, like I am, you'll be disappointed by the SD600. It takes blurry pictures with granulated pixels all over and the zoom is horrendous. The macro was good, as was Indoor, but NightTime, Portrait, and any zoomed photos looked horrendous. The A630 is the route to go.

Too late but....Don't buy camera with external AA batteries. I have a Canon A400, is the cheapest from Canon but Rechargeable batteries can make you spend more money. Buy with NiCd/mAh/lithium-ion integrated like SD600. Rechargeable AA batteries (I have Energizer 2100 mAh) won't last more than a year or two and now I have to buy more.

To Tom Martin or anyone who can help, excluding video, why is the EOS 50D 15.1MP a higher quality than the T1i or T2i?I'm trying to decide between the three and when I look at the list of specs for them, they all seem almost identical from what I can tell. I'm sure I'm missing something. Does the 50D have a more rugged build?Thanks to anyone who contributes an opinion on this.

i think it takes pics pretty quickly. I rec'd the A540 for xmas & exhanged it the next day for the SD700. The A540 took about 4-5 secs btwn each shot, which is a LONG time....the SD700 is ready to shoot another pic in less then a second (and that is with using the flash).Highly recomend!

my Kodak Z812S...and even my old Kodak DX7630 take better pictures than the Fuji S1800. My first digital was a Fuji with 3.2 mp and it was a honey! Since then, two more Kodaks (as mentioned previously) one Sony (which is purse-sized and the pix are okay...it's just so I always have a camera on me) and the Fuji S1800. I have about 120 out of 200 or so that are great pictures from Hawaii; and maybe 80 - 100 more from various events and locations. My Eastern Europe shots were not what I hoped for, but editing helped a lot.I'm online now to order the Z981 and will probably post my opinion of the results.With all that said...I'd suggest you go with the Kodak. my Kodak Z812S...and even my old Kodak DX7630 take better pictures than the Fuji S1800.

One of the differences that i am aware of in the 2 cameras is the a65 has a plastic body, the a77 has a titanium body. That was the selling point for me. Also i believe the a65 does not have the same megapixel as the a77. All in all i think you get more bang out of the a77, the price difference between the 2 was not that much to sway me from the a77. Feel that amazon has a good price on the a77 and would recommend the a77 any day of the week, very happy with my choice.

Class 6 & up, is likely what they meant. (Unless either he didn't really kno they have a new Class out now, or you mentioned Class 10 & he wasn't sure what it meant) The lower the "Class", the "slower" the card; this is probably most noticeable between shots when you're waiting for the camera to return to "ready to shoot" OR when you want to quickly review the pics you've just taken/ last shot, & they take forever to come up or scroll thru. Class 10 is considered better & faster because it is supposed to be, and the best brands are usually Transcend & SanDisk, but everyone's preference varies depending on experience, so if you prefer, just buy whatever is most affordable in the meantime until you can work your way up to something more expensive, more roomy, more faster &/or more quality. Oh, and also, the amount of speed you'd want in a card (and camera) really depends on the main usage for your camera, ie do you want to be able to shoot lots of HD footage? (HD, being heavier than regular video becuz of its high quality, works best on faster cards) Or will you just be taking mostly pictures & if using video, they'll just be casual things going straight to YouTube/ etc? If the latter, a Class 6 is perfectly fine. It's been the leading Class for quite a few years now, so some slower cards (Class 2 or 4) still exist; it's best to avoid those. If the former, then a Class 10 is indeed the best choice, as it is the latest advancement in the speeds of digital storage cards. Hope this helps! xoxoxo

The full-frame sensor gathers more light more quickly and with greater clarity than smaller sensors. This means you get sharper photos with more detail. Plus you can shoot with available light almost anytime, anywhere. The 6D is an amazing camera IMHO.

I sell both of these cameras at the store in which I work. I typically recommend the canon. We see many more Sony cameras come back with 'weird' problems... (we see NO canons coming back with any kind of problems... ok fine, two canon cameras in the two years I've been there). Also sony cameras try to hard to provide sharpness and clarity and sometimes leave odd marks on the images visible at high magnifications.

Im debating between those 2 as well, I always loved canon lenses, image quality in my opinion always outranked Sony. But recently my father bought the Sony a55 and image quality is amazing, my 12 year old sister took some pictures with it, and they look like done by a pro. Any help from experienced pros please!!!!, thanks in advance, I appreciate it!!

A6000 is 24MP sensor, not 16MP, so it is 50% more. Obviously it will show the advantage in resolution. Auto focus is much faster and more reliable with more coverage area for Phase detect. Check imaging resource details review, they compare and show the differences. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/sony-a6000/sony-a6000A.HTM

anyone who is confused with this 700 vs 800, pls take look athttp://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/sd800.htmafter saw the review, i made my pick.

I have a Canon A620. Great battery life - 500 shots, but bulky, coat pocket vs shirt pocket. It had 4 AA batteries. The A590IS is petite by comparison, lightweight, and like the rest of the A series, delivers value in an attractive package. Just don't expect it to be the size of an ELPH (SD series). It's actually rather more attractive than the plain silver ELPHs anyway

Hi C.If mychildren were active types, I would probably lean toward the Canon 7 D, with its higher fps. But if my kids were more of the school-play type, I would get the 6D with its better low light performance. Hope my reply is of help. :-)

Dpreview.com has some interesting comparison of the SD700 vs the 800. By the picture and the review, it looks like the 700IS beats the 800 hands-down on quality. I have the 700IS and the only complaint I have is that the movie mode uses up way too much filespace (ie, the movies are too big). Other than that, this is a great camera.

Thanks Tech Guy. I see that it takes SDHC, and the video size limitation is fine by me. I'll have to see if I can get an a solid answer from Canon's tech support on if the 790 can take advantage of the faster in-camera processing Class 6 cards have (the upload to computer speed advantage doesn't mean much to me), and if it varies by brand. I also am wondering if I'll need to replace my current SD card reader if I do buy and use any of these higher capacity / faster SD cards.
