OT: digital camera recommendations, anyone?

Well, my Canon SD950IS arrived today. All I can say is wow. Image Stabilization is awesome. The sad part is that I think my pictures taken with this camera are coming out better than the ones I shoot with my digital SLR, which was considerably more expensive (tells you what my skills are like).

Part of that is the ‘megapixel’ factor (beyond technology improvements). I think the Rebel DSLR is a 6Mpixel. Where the Rebel will have an advantage is in low light. It will do better in focusing speed, flash depth(how far it can throw the flash) and have less noise in the images. The SD950IS will have noise start to creep in after ISO 100. The Rebel should be able to run up to ISO 400 without problems. For pictures in bright daylight, the SD950IS should do a lot better.

Thanks for the tips, I didn’t even think about the speed of the memory, and the burner is a great idea, if not kind of expensive, but I’m sure they’ll come down in price.
We’re probably going to take the shorter battery life for having a larger screen though so it’ll be easier to frame up what’s being shot underwater.

For durability, great pics and ease of use, my canon powershot elph is great. I bought an old 2 MP one way back ago, and just got an updated model about 6 months ago. Plus, the casing is metal and it feels like it won’t break so easily…mostly psychological I bet.

Part of that is the 'megapixel' factor (beyond technology improvements). I think the Rebel DSLR is a 6Mpixel. Where the Rebel will have an advantage is in low light.

Actually, it's 8mp. Though if I waited the XTi is 10.1mp. And the latest addition the XSi will be 12.1mp. Doh, if I only waited.
