Canon Powershot 870 Is
Compare canon sd 850, sd 870, and sd 1100 camera?

Hello,

I want to purchase a new digital camera, and I am having a hard time deciding between these three models, canon powershot sd 850, sd 870, and sd 1100.
They seem to be within same price range with mostly similar quality.

Please help me compare these three in their detailed features and functions, image quality, IS, and worth of money.

please rank the three and elaborate your reasoning.

thanks!

i used this page to narrow down which camera.
i am going to get the sd870 because of:

1. it’s the fastest camera (i HATE missing a shot cuz the camera is too slow!)
2. great movie qualities
3. it improves over the sd 850 in megapixels (i’m pretty sure) and also includes a wider angle lens
4. it also has a larger lcd screen.
5. looks cool!

also, look at this page

http://www.steves-digicams.com/best_cameras.html

scroll down until you find the “best ultra compact-pocketable”

steve has listed the sd870, but not the sd850.
the 1100 is listed on top, i’m not sure if that means anything or not.

also, the 850 has a view finder… which could be very helpful. however, steve wrote that the lcd on the 870 is fantastic and shouldn’t be a problem using in bright sunlight.

in the end, i think you can’t lose with any of those cameras. unless you shot the same exact scene with the 3 cameras back to back, only then would you notice a difference. even then, i think it would difficult.

hope this helps!

Just bought the Canon Powershot 870 and I have a question regarding the movie mode. Can it record sound????

It has a microphone but it is not recording the sound.
Ok i figured it out i had my camera on mute this whole time…Thanks for your answers.

I really like this camera however i do not know very much about the 1000 model.

Many of the point & shoot cameras that do video have different resolution settings. Sometimes the 640×480 mode is without audio and the 320×240 mode has audio.
It might be worth a try to record a few seconds in a lower res to see if that works. If it does you’ll know that the microphone works.

idk all the details that particular camera – I’ll try to find out.

Fun with time lapse! Canon Powershot SD870 IS
