Where have the days gone when model numbers actually had a meaning? Just go on the Canon website and do a model comparison between the SD1000, SD750, and the SD800 IS. They all have THE EXACT SAME specs with the single exception that the SD750 sports a 3" LCD instead of the 2.5" the other two have. WTF? Sure, I understand that the camera makers finally realized more megapixels doesn't mean more sales, which ended the times when the number behind the SD actually somehow related to the megapixels inside. But 1000 and 750?? It looks like totally arbitrary numbers, there is an 800IS and the 900 already, and they all pretty much do the same. What the hell is Canon doing?
