Canon SD 600 or SD 800 IS??
its about $150 difference and the only thing id be missing seems like the image stabilization and another megapixel from the 800. if im just a casual point-and-shoot type of guy, would getting the SD 600 be good enough? or should i ante up and get the 800 IS? thanks, dood

Take some pictures with both, blow them up to full screen and see which ones you like best. The store should have a comp and monitor that you can use.

The SD600 is a bit more compact. The IS will be a huge benefit if you're going to be using this camera for social shots indoors like at bars or whatever. The extra megapixel is of little or no importance.

800is.
I was choosing between the 600 and the 700is, I paid more for the 700is but it has exceeded my expectations.
People couldn't believe some of the pictures that came out were from a dinky P&S.
