Powershot Ixus Elph
Canon Digital Camera Questions?
1.) What's the difference between the Powershot A, S, T, Pro and G series?
2.) What's the difference between the Powershot, Elph and Ixus?
and....
3.) Which would you guys recommend? What do you think is best? I want to buy a Digital Camera and plan on getting the one with a fast shutter speed, high Mega Pixel, with macro, and the one with cool features... (like color swap or color accent) and still feels a bit professional...
PowerShot A-series uses AA-batteries and most offer multiple manual modes (Av, Tv, Full-Manual, etc.). S-series have the same capabilities as A-series, but are a lot bulkier and have a different type of battery. The G-series are like the S-series, but offer even more options (hot-shoe adapter, RAW images) and are closer to the professional cameras than the rest of the PowerShots. The G-series eventually replaced the Pro-series.
PowerShot cameras that are made in the US are called PowerShots. That exact same Camera Model is also made in Europe (and is called IXUS) and Japan (which is known as IXY). The Digital Elph-series is simply another name for the PowerShot SD-series (which only offers VERY limited manual features).
My suggestion is if you know FOR SURE that you're going to expand (i.e., buying a separate flash unit), go with a G-Series Camera (preferably a G6 or G7). Otherwise, I'd go with the PowerShot A710 with Image Stabilization. It offers all the qualities you're looking for, including color swap and color accent.
Hope that helps!
