Connectivity
Software
The SD750 and SD1000 come with CD-ROMs with a suite of organizational and editing software.
 
Jacks, ports, plugs
There are two jacks beneath a small square-shaped door on the right side of the camera. One jack hosts the USB 2.0 hi-speed mini-B jack and doubles as the AV jack, which can be set to output in NTSC or PAL standard via the setup menu. The other round jack is for the optional DC-in cable.
 
Direct Print Options
The Canon SD750 and SD1000 are PictBridge compatible and connect with the supplied USB cable. Print orders can be made from the playback menu, where users can select which pictures to print and how many of each to make. Pictures can be printed by category, date, and folder. All pictures can be printed at once. Print orders can be deleted or saved, then transferred to a printer at a later date via the LED-adorned print button.
 
Battery
The SD750 and SD1000 come with a rechargeable NB04L lithium-ion battery that gets 210 shots per charge. Both cameras have battery indicators that flash when there is about 2 minutes of power left. The SD1000 has an opportunity to save battery power when needed by shutting off the LCD screen and relying on the optical viewfinder. The PowerShots come with wall-mount battery chargers.
 
Memory
There is no internal memory on these digital cameras and they only come with 16 MB cards, which can only hold 9 pictures at full resolution. They accept SD, SDHC, and MMC memory cards in a slot next to the battery in the compartment on the bottom of the camera.
 
Other features
Stitch Assist – These assists can be found among the exposure modes and can be set to assist from left to right or right to left. The "assist" means that once users snap one picture, a side of the image remains to help line up the next shot, and the next, and so on. These can be used to create panoramas, but they can’t be stitched together until they are uploaded into the included software.
 
Digital Macro – This mode also resides with the other exposure modes. It can focus from 1.2-3.9 inches. Its live preview looks pixilated, but when the exposure is locked the view becomes smooth again. This macro mode doesn’t provide much advantage over the standard macro mode though.
 
Sound Recorder – This feature is located in the playback menu, although it is an odd placement for it because it has nothing to do with the playback of images. The sound recorder feature records mono audio at three different sampling rates: 44.100 kHz, 22.050 kHz, and 11.025 kHz. Background noise garbled the audio, but voices within about 6 ft can be heard clearly.

    Panasonic Lumix FZ150

    Excellent image quality, speedy performance, and a great design add up to the best superzoom that has ever graced our labs. That distinction seems to change hands every week, but trust us when we say that the FZ150 is a truly great camera. Read full 16-part review

    Sony Cyber-shot HX100V

    This professionally-geared ultrazoom offers some of the best color accuracy we've ever seen. It's a shame the other scores weren't quite so strong. Read full 16-part review

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47

    Panasonic resists the urge to cram more megapixels and more focal length into their latest ultrazoom. The FZ47 instead focuses on image quality and features, resulting in an incredibly strong camera that we loved shooting with. Read full 16-part review
