Canon G7 or SD850

[colinm85]

Hi - New to the forum. Over the past few years, I've been using an old Canon A70 to take pictures while snorkeling, mostly in the Caribbean. It works fine, but has some disadvantages, particulalry the shutter lag. Decided to upgrade, and stay with Canon since I like their products. Narrowed it down to the G7 or SD850 - I know there are later models available, but I can get either of these thru a rewards program, so they would be free - quite an advantage I think. Anyway, wondered if anyone could provide any advice. Thanks

Wellcome to be the member!

If these are alternatives, I dont know this SD850, but if I would be in your trousers I would put picture search (taken G7 and SD850 ) to Google and compare results. ( anyhow I know G7 and it is OK )
