hello,
ive been wondering on how to classify Canon SDxxx series in their own perspective generations, like, which generation is the SD600 considered, and would it be a new generation if only one feature was added to the newer model but without any change or upgrade to the processor??
like, how may generations are there from SD600 till SD1000? 1 or 6?
thanks for all answers, wether right or wrong.
How many generations from the Canon SD600 till the Canon SD1000?
All Canon cameras have the Digic image processor inside them. The first SD models obviously had the original Digic processor and then a little later down the line, the Digic II processor was introduced and all new models now have the latest, Digic III processor.
The SD600 was released in 2006 and has the Digic II processor.
The numbering of the SD models can be a little confusing and all over the place, though. For instance, the SD950 IS is a much better model than the SD1000 and SD1100 etc.
I own the SD700 IS (Digic II) and it's definitely better than the SD1000 and a number of other SD models. So, don't be confused by the numbering.
You will find that the SD models with a slightly larger sensor than other models, and also the inclusion of an image stabilizer (IS) is what makes a better model.
Digic II is perfectly fantastic. Digic III is just a slight processor upgrade, that's all. So, you could say that the latest generation of cameras are ones that feature the latest Digic III image processor.
