Which camera is Better Sd900, SD850, SD750? |
I am not a professional photographer. Just looking for a good camera to use at events or family things. In that group, rule out the SD750, because it doesn't have an optical viewfinder and it's almost too small to use. The SD850IS easily beats it in its own class. Between the others, you are looking at a critical analysis of the image quality. On one level, the larger sensor in the SD900 gives it a better image and this is the camera that I chose for myself. I have some SLR's to use when I get serious, though. On another level, the image stabilization of the SD850IS makes a real difference. In fact, if its predecessor (SD700IS) had been available when I was shopping for a camera, I was going to buy that and not the SD900. The SD850IS gives a little but more telephoto reach, also. For your purposes, the SD850IS is probably the best choice. Examined under a microscope, the SD900 images may give more detail and allow for bigger enlargements, but examined at arm's length on a normal print, this advantage goes away. You gain the advantage if image stabliization and that's where I think you should put your money. You are going to get mostly 4x6 or 5x7 prints and they will be excellent. Even a full-frame 8x10 will be quite good. If I was buying today, I'd get the SD850IS. I can talk out of both sides of my mouth with this example, but today, I'll see it from your point of view. See: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstei... As you view it in the first size on the screen, you don't see a whole lot of difference, do you? (The SD850IS is very similar to the SD700IS.) Click "All sizes." On my screen, it's about 10陆x13 when you do that. That's bigger than any print you'd ever get from a shot like this, but see how little difference there is? Even if you cropped a 4x6 out of the center to show the people on the dock, either side would give you an acceptable print. If you click on "Original," though you will see the difference. But, cropping the center out of either one is not going to be the highest quality any more. My point is, for all but a 20x30 poster (or similar magnification) the image stabilization is more important than the pixel count or the sensor size - for your purposes. |
