I see so many Canons, SD900, SD800, A560 A500, but what is the difference between SD and A

The SD series are their smaller compact cameras. They are designed for pocket and convent size cameras. The A series are their more advance series but are not pocket size. They are on the bluky side so its not t he most convient thing in the world but they do take better pictures than the SD series because of their larger sensor. A series have manuel as well as automated features. SD series only have auto and a few limited manuel mode. I own both 2 SD series camera and 1 A series camera. The A series totally beats out the Sd cameras at high ISO levels, but in lighted situations, theres not much of a difference.
SD is mainly working on pocket size convience, A series is mainly working on the most bang for your buck imagine quality wise.

The A series, firstly, takes AA batteries- and was originally designed as Canon's lower priced line. However- some of the models have gotten very good. They are mid-sized compacts, rather that 'ultra' compact.
The SD series was modeled after Canon's digital elf, and try to be the smallest that they can be. The SD's are surprisingly capable for their size- but you pay extra for that.

The SD models are subcompact size. They're great.
