    Which is better considering value?

    Canon SD750 (black) for $178

    or

    Canon SD850 (silver) for $215


    Is the SD750 even a good camera?

    i like the canon sd850IS for $215

    another good alternative:

    fujifilm f45fd for $104 ($179-$75 rebate) at ritz

    http://www.ritzcamera.com/product/541245346.htm

    earlier versions of this fujifilm camera (f31fd) had some of the best reviews at places like dpreview. the f45fd is probably not as good, but its still a really good camera, and its probably really hard to beat that price

    I think a lap dance will justify.

    I post something to this nature in every camera thread, but if your budget is even somewhat limited, Fuji is much better than Canon.

    I personally have a S9000, which is out of your price range, but Fuji has others that are really good for cheaper.

    The S700 (http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-Fine...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1209399259&sr=1-1) and the S8000 (http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-Fine...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1209399259&sr=1-1) will take better photos than anything else at around $200.

    If you want something a little smaller, the E900 (http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-Fine...r_1_36?ie=UTF8&s=photo&qid=1209399447&sr=1-36) skimps a little on zoom, but photo quality is much better than any Canon pocket camera.

    When you compare similarly-priced cameras, you cannot justify buying anything over a Fuji.

    Fuji's are often known for purple fringing on the photos they take. But they are NOT bad cameras by any means--and although I've read about the purple fringing on more than one Fuji model, I'm sure they don't all do this. Canons are just a bit more favorably reviewed overall.
