I need a small compact camera that I can carry in my pocket and take good quality pictures. I’m considering buying either Canon SD600 or SD450. I think I’ll probably get the SD600 which is 6 MP instead of 5 MP (SD450), although I may not have a need for it but would be good to have just in case.
I also looked into Sony DSC-T9 and Casio Exslim, but based on some online reviews and feedback leaning towards SD600.
If you have any feedback…thoughts…experience…on this please let me know.
Re: Canon SD600
I have a SD450, which was the most bang for the buck i could get, as the jump in price from 400 - 450 wasn't much. 600 is approx $100 more for an extra mpx and nothing more. For samples check out my UK Trip thread in travel.
Casio Exclim is a very cute camera as well, but i don't know how it performs.
Re: Canon SD600
I went with Canon SD630 instead. Should be a good one like its predecessors.

Great. Enjoy and share!
Re: Canon SD600
There are 2 tiny little screws holding the the memory card in...have to buy compatible screw driver to open it.
It is annoying that they designed it this way. This means that if I run out of space on the card and need to insert a new one in, I'll have to have the screw driver handy to replace it.
Re: Canon SD600
Haww, that can't be right. What if you leave the screws out, the lid doesn't stick?
You can just leave a 1-2 gb card in there if all else fails.
It really is strange though.
Re: Canon SD600
are you yankin’ our chain? NO camera in the world has such a mechanism to insert flash cards.
Card goes under the battery compartment.
Re: Canon SD600
hahaa…ok I didn’t spend too much time investigating. There was a slot on the side of the camera with screws which was size of the card so I thought maybe this is where it goes…you can see it under 3D Product View here… http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=12956
Re: Canon SD600
Difference between 5 and 6 mp is not visible at all.. it only makes a difference if u go from 5 to 8 mp..otherwise it's pretty much the same.. I have a 6mp Sony and I love it...
Re: Canon SD600
Hahaha... sky, you are so funny!
Good thing you didn't buy Casio. I'd have advised against that anyway.
Re: Canon SD600
I have the Casio (EX-S500) and I happen to be very happy with it, thankyouverymuch. 
I have it in metallic orange and one day I hope to buy an Infiniti FX45 in the matching colour. The matching colour is available, they had an FX45 in it at the Toronto Autoshow…
