Canon SD600 User Reviews.
Overall Rating: 9.0 of 10 - Good for my purposes

Overall, I'm very happy. Image quality is excellent, and there are ways to do most things I'd want.
The SD630 model removes the viewfinder (which one can use in emergencies instead of the LCD to save battery power) and replaces it with a larger LCD. The SD700 model adds 4x zoom (instead of 3x) and has image stabilization. I find this SD600 plenty for my uses.
Overall, a very good camera for the price, and I'm glad to have something like this handy. I'm just going to be curious how long it holds up beyond the warranty period ;)

I bought this camera as a replacement for an SD400 which was stolen. It's a nice little upgrade. The screen on the SD600 is 2.5" which actually makes quite a bit of a difference. I debated buying the SD630 with larger screen, but sometimes I like to use the viewfinder, which the SD630 does not have. Overall, I'm very happy with the photos it takes!
