Re: Canon SD600?


Actually, no camera is perfect per se when it comes to what the human heart desires. You can always find some perceived flaw or something you might like done better in any camera once you've spent enough time w/ it.

If you go for an entry level or prosumer DSLR body, you'll eventually find plenty more things you'd want improved or added. You'll want something easier to lug around. You'll develop lens lust for a wide variety of lenses w/ some being too hefty to lug around, some lacking IS, some not ideal for your walkaround needs, some not bright enough, some w/ no zooming at all, etc, etc. You'll want a nice flash bracket and whatever related gadgets to go w/ that big speedlight that you'll eventually want. You'll decide model A is faster, more accurate, more solid, etc. or model B makes full use of 35mm SLR lenses or model C offers higher resolution, or brand X offers better high ISO performance today or brand Y's ergonomics and feature set are much more desirable for you or brand Z's dynamic range and/or subtle tonal gradations and/or WB capability (including WB pre-conditioning for more efficient use of dynamic range) impress you more. And the list goes on and on and on until you decide, oh no, there's also the possibility of medium format digital backs!! And then, don't forget about postprocessing(!!) and your choice of relevant software tools.

At the end of the day, choosing the right tool for the right job specifically for you is still what matters most. Figure out what you really need (or want most) for the forseeable future and go w/ what serves *you* best w/out necessarily catering to your every last desire. But you probably know all that already though you may be tempted to think otherwise from time to time.

Happy comparison shopping!
