Canon Powershot SD600 vs SD630

[wifeymiller]

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I am looking to buy either a Canon SD600 or SD630 camera. Any advice/knowledge about which one I should get? Is it worth the extra $75 - $100 for the SD630? Also, anyone know of any great deals on either camera? I know Circuit city and Newegg both have the 600 for about $200. Thanks for the help!

The thing I don't like about the 630 is there is no optical viewfinder. I know the LCD screen is 3 inches, but I really need the viewfinder to look through when I'm outside taking pictures in bright light. I missed the Dell deal on the 600 so am also looking everywhere for the best out the door deal. Good luck!

I don't really know much about the 600 but I got the 630 a week or so ago and absolutely LOVE it! The pictures are great and its easy to use! I used to have a Kodak Easyshare and to me this is a big upgrade! Good luck on deciding!

 

Here is a side by side comparison of the two

I am also with the same confusion about what to choose between 600 and 630.Can somebody knew how either/both behave while taking snaps in the nigh time and in the bright sunlight.

Is the optical viewer so imp?

Right now on Dell website the 600 is 191 before tax and the 630 is 243 before tax. Shipping is free and these prices are after a 15 percent discount. I personally wanted the 630 for the larger screen, my sister loves her 600. Has anyone found a cheaper price on the 630? Oh, fyi, the prices show up this way in the cart.

Never mind. New Egg has the 630 for 249 + $5 shipping. Included is PNY 2GB SB Flash Card. I'm buying. Hope I'm not missing out on a better deal.
