    She takes it to the heart [falls over dead] Oh. Hi there, Holadem! Did you have a nice trip! :) Pictures? [really, I was just keeping your seat warm!]

    Canon SD600?

    I realized that yesterday and tried it late afternoon, I had just purchased but not installed a 12in1 Scandisk reader and I wondered if it would work without the included camera software. (it did) Although I was not worried about calibrating my monitor, since both cameras would have an equal...

    Canon SD600?

    Has already crossed my mind (but not the husbands yet!) :laugh: ...off to do laundry and take snaps in-between loads. :)

    Canon SD600?

    Time for only quick impressions of the Cannon SD 800 Vs Fuji F30. I am a non-trained user who has never before really messed with the Digital’s. And some of these impressions will definitely fall into the realm of personal tastes. Fit & Finish: Cannon Side by Side, the Cannon’s darker...

    Canon SD600?

    All I had time to show the son, after pulling the F30 manual up via the web, before the camera got here this morning, - was how to get into "shoot" vs "play" mode. They were rushing out when they got up :) saying "MOM...okay okay, I'll figure it out". I tried to show him how to acess the...

    Canon SD600?

    Hien, I missed the window Thurs, for one-day ship, which put it here (sat) today. I had time to charge it about ¾, (hate to do that to new battery) without even powering it up myself, sent it out the door to the airport. They are prepping planes for a trip. Husband will be too busy to deal with...

    Canon SD600?

    And what’s wrong ;) with manufacture’s catering to my every last desire! And I have lusted after ‘L’ lens from Cannon. I found quickly from Hien’s great Face-to-Face link, assuming no retouching or deliberate manipulation that... I want a point and shoot with the Cannon SD800 color (under...

    Canon SD600?

    Hien, I did not read defensive at all. In fact I so much appreciate all your help. It just suddenly occurred to me...you own the model..I hoped wasn’t being rude. :) Be nice if it really makes it! This stuff - drives me crazy; the research and worrying over a final choice....but I love...

    Canon SD600?

    ...that is what burns me, my last bout of heavy shooting was on my aging Cannon SLR 630, can’t stand spending what I spent for that on a P&S! A shame my husband does not have more pocket space. Shootout. I’ve just over nighted the F30, went for it when I noted FaceR is slowing the F31 down a...

    Canon SD600?

    Are you a sadist, :laugh: there seems to be issue with the F31 including a delay of 1-2 wks shipping evidently just on the cusp of on-hand stock status. MARCH! Just think what fall 2007 will bring! :laugh: If I miss this trip, one I really wished him to have it for, it would give me a few...

    Canon SD600?

    Hien, Still deciding! Did you scroll the Barbie shots? Close up /without flash: the Fuji is at 800ISO as compared to the much noisier 400ISO of the Cannon. Close up/with flash: again the Fuji beats the Cannon Upper Body/without flash: the Fuji color is not pleasing Upper Body/with...

    Thanks very much Hien for the one-stop and clear synopsis!

    Canon SD600?

    Hein, you are correct, my first 15 minute test run was in Auto. Since it has been a couple of years since I played with any pocket sized, I had high expectations of greater advancements for that class than when I last touched base with them. The issue for my first test was that color was very...

    Canon SD600?

    Purchased the Cannon SD800 today, it is a current hot seller! We bought the last unit of a just-arrived shipment at the fifth store we tried, sold out at four other local B&M's. The very few minutes I had to play with it with in a known difficult indoor lighting situation...I was very...

    Canon SD600?

    Man & Hien, Thanks very much! Missed the giving him days to play with it, - will have to make my 2-day ship decision on Tuesday AM or try to pick the Cannon 800 up at a local B&M. Really appreciated the review you found Hien but rather than cementing the deal, I still feel I will almost have...

    Canon SD600?

    HienN: [Like all men] You picked up, - on my small joke! :laugh: “wide angle, and face detection” No one engineers appliances/electronics which have all bundled features (I) wish for! - Some of his shots will be aircraft in flight, daylight, requiring a longer lens than any digicam...

    Canon SD600?

    Always nice to hear other purchaser’s experiences thank you for the web-store recommendations. Since the Fuji is 1.1, it is indeed on the ‘thick’ end, and I think he is attracted to the idea of extremely slim.. :) I was hoping if I brought one home, he would decide it fell into acceptably...

    Canon SD600?

    What to do. I needed a pocket-sized for a Christmas gift for husbands travels, - and had narrowed to the Canon SD800 or the Fuji F30. Stalled out on the purchase when I saw Face Recognition in the feature specs of the soon to be stocked, Fuji F31fd. Tried to find it but no-where available...
