Canon Cameras

What is the difference with a regular Canon PowerShot, and a PowerShot Digital ELPH?

1. "Enabling the PowerShot SD500 Digital ELPH camera's 7.1-megapixel resolution is a larger 1/1.8 inch type CCD image sensor (compared with the 5-megapixel 1/2.5-inch type CCD sensor of the PowerShot SD400 model)." The ELPH has better picture resolution.
2. The ELPHs are smaller. The PowerShot line is canon's line of point and shoot cameras, the ELPHs are the pocket models of that line.
3. Actually I think it's a bit tricky. I would rather ignore "Digital ELPH" and look directly at the model numbers. The A's are lowest and cheapest, the S'es are good but bigger and heavier than the SD's.
