Should I get the Canon SD 800 or the SD 900?

Question

Here's the tie breaker that's bothering me.
SD 900- doesn't have an image stabilizer
10 mp
titanium!
SD 800-has an image stabilizer
7.1mp

Is the image stabilizer nessecary? I really don't care about the price and want a one that is reliable and I can use for a long time.

Also, are the softwares that come with it useful?

Answer 1

Personally, I think I'd wrestle between the SD700-IS and the 900 and kind of overlook the SD800-IS. Petra says that the widest wide angle of the SD800 is not that great anyhow, so you won't use it. If you get the SD900, it doesn't zoom quite as much, so IS may not be so necessary. To ME, if the money didn't matter, I would prefer the increased size of the sensor in the SD900 over the SD800-IS. It's almost twice as big and this has got to mean better image quality.

Answer 2

From the Reviews I have see the later version the SD 900 is the better on..
