Powershot Digital
What's the best version of the canon powershot digital camera?
I want to get a canon powershot digital camera, but there is more than one version, and I don't know which is best. I need a widescreen, so I can get everything in the picture, without half of something being cut out of the shot. like only half of someone's head makes it into the picture, ect. I want to avoid that from now on. I heard powershots had widescreens, now I just need to know which one to get. Thanks.
I wouldn't say it's the best version of the powershot series of cameras, but the S80 and SD800 are the *only* powershot cameras that goes down to 28mm focal length (using 35mm equivalent terms), which is considered a wide-angle focal length. (btw...it's called a "wide-angle" lens, not a wide-screen lens 
)
The SD800 got dinged in its reviews, due to image softness though. You might seriously want to consider some alternatives. The Panasonic line of compact cameras have generally had outstanding reviews.
You have several options:
-- Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2
-- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01
-- Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1
-- Canon PowerShot SD800 IS
-- Canon PowerShot S80
-- Olympus FE-200
-- Ricoh Caplio R5
Panasonic will soon be releasing these:
-- Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ2 & DMC-TZ3
-- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30
Slightly older, you have these
-- Olympus C-7070 Wide Zoom
-- Samsung Digimax A55W
-- Fujifilm FinePix E510 Zoom
As far as other Powershot models, the G7 is supposed to be its "flagship model" with a 35mm-210 6x zoom lens, but doesn't go down to 28mm. the A640 is generally considered to be almost as feature-rich as the G7, but has a standard 35mm-to-105mm 3x zoom lens. The G7's interface is more slr-like than the A640 (and will give you the control to shoot yourself in the foot if you don't know what you're doing), has a very useful hotshoe for flash, and offers some nice control features, but drops some of the consumer gadgetry, like the flip-out vari-angle display. The A710 has the G7's zoom lens, but it's stuck on a smaller sensor, so its image quality isn't as good, and the batteries (2 aa batteries) mean that flash recycle time suffers. The S80 is an interesting form factor, which shares the G7's control dial, but has a smaller sensor.
