If you get the silver SD1000 from B&H Photo (See Yahoo! Shopping), it is just over $200. If you get it at a department store, it will be $250 or more. I have no idea why, but I saw teh SD750 everywhere in stores for THREE-hundred and fifty dollars and B&H sells it for $260. I recently handled the SD750 (IXUS 75) and SD1000 (IXUS 70) and have a definite opinion now in favor of the SD1000. The SD1000 is the smallest digital camera I think I've ever seen and yet it is easier to handle than the SD750. These cameras replaced the SD600 (SD1000) and SD630 (SD750). They are DARN similar to the previous models and to each other. The newer cameras will accept an SDHC memory card, though, and they have face detection. They also use the new Digic III image processor, which is Canon's state-of-the-art version. (The others has the Digic II.) The SD1000 has an optical viewfinder and that might be the tie-breaker for me. (See below) The multi-function button and the other control buttons on the SD750 are TINY, hard to press and hard to read compared to the controls on the SD1000. I guess it's the price you pay for having another half inch of LCD taking up space on the back of the camera. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=canon_sd750%2Ccanon_sd1000&show=all OPTICAL VIEWFINDERS I lament the passing of the optical viewfinder and I would choose almost any camera with an optical viewfinder over one that only has an LCD viewfinder. Why? 1. You never have the option of turning off the LCD and these things eat batteries for lunch and spit them out. Why do away with the option of a viewfinder that has zero electrical drain? 2. It can be difficult to see the image on an LCD in bright sunlight, even if they are "new and improved." 3. You have to hold an LCD viewer out at some distance in front of your face. This is more conspicuous than I prefer to be all the time. 4. The need to hold a camera at arms length will introduce some shake. I like the idea of stabilizing a camera against my face when I am taking a picture. This is especially important with a longer zoom lens. No wonder "image stablization" or "vibration reduction" is necessary with these cameras. Not that there's anything WRONG with IS or VR, but it is really a requirement with LCD viewfinders and telephoto lenses. 5. Using the LCD to view photos after you've taken them slows down the camera quite a bit. You can't shut of the LCD monitor and still take pictures if you don't have an optical viewfinder.
yahoo shopping both have the same quality pictures the screens are different I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice. The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras and learn as much as they can from the internet. Go to the store and hold them and try them to see what they feel like and how they take pictures. I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera. Good Luck my suggestion go to yahoo shopping digital cameras digital camera GUIDE be sure to check titles on the left side the guide should answer your questions
I got the canon SD 750 about a week ago, and I love it compared to the previous cameras that I have owned. I bought it because of the high review rates for the price of $299. One of the many great features is it take 1 second to turn on, and your ready to take a picture, so you can almost instintly take a picture, once you know your subject. It also has great features like color accent mode or color switch mode. You can also use a sd card and it can hold well over 1,000 pics with a 2 gig SD card. It can aso take well over 20min of video with the same card. This card can cost about $45. The camera itself is really small and thin, for all the features it has. You can download pics to your computer by using mini usb cable included with the camera. Overall I think this camera would be perfect for tourism, sport events, events, and protraits.
