Canon Elph Manual
What camera do you think you should buy?

I want to buy a digital camera that is easy to handle, but it also gives me the opportunity to play with manual settings, so not only a point and shoot, but not any of the digital SLR … I have three choices: Canon PowerShot SD900 Canon PowerShot A640 10MP Digital Camera with 4x optical zoom Canon PowerShot SD900 Titanium 10MP Digital ELPH with 3x Optical Zoom What do you think is the best? Do you have another option for me? Thank you!

First of all, there are only 2 options there, not three. Secondly, the SD900 (which is the same as the SD900 Titanium), no manual controls. A pretty good camera, but may not be what you're looking for. If you do not mind having something that is not so small, I went with the A570IS Canon A710IS or what both have manual controls and image stabilization that the 640 lacks. But with 640 10Mpix you if that's important to you. It should only be important to you if While large print or doing a lot of culture. there is a slight advantage in resolution, but it is not as much as you might think. You might also consider Canon G7. Zoom and offers more control. It would take me nutz to have to go into a menu every time you wanted to change the ISO. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canona640/ http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canong7/
