After being very annoyed that our PCs are not capable of the proper display of the SD780IS HD videos, and at this time have no other reason to upgrade them, I have decided to check out the Canon SD1200IS. It's 10Mpixels instead of 12M, and it is a little thicker, but also weighs less, but the main differance is that the SD1200 is not taking HD H.264 videos, "just" 640x480 30fps motion JPEG ones. In a few days I will post what my take on this cheaper, less capable, camera is.
Canon SD780IS: 87x56x18mm (3.4x2.2x0.7in), 160g (5.6oz)
Canon SD1200IS: 86x55x22mm (3.4x2.2x0.9in), 120g (4.2oz)
Question is why there seems to be no SD1200IS reviews out there... I guess
this one from Cnet Australia cannot really qualify as a proper review, or? And
this one from "dpinterface". Not much of a review, I think.

Matt - I can understand your frustration with playing back SD780 videos on older computer systems, however, on a newer system they are truly breathtaking. I have been shooting video with my SD780 for about a month now and creating HD DVD's (using Sony Vegas). The result is amazing on large screen TV's. I bought this camera after reading your blog and I couldn't be happier with it. Thanks for all of your useful observations.
