A1100 IS or SD1200 IS?

Replacing a Canon A75, which I have loved, but is too bulky to fit easily in a pocket while traveling. Artistic eye for composition, but prefer ease and speed of auto shooting. Take photos both outdoors (hiking, nature, Disney, etc.) and indoors (museums and other low-light situations). Recommendations between the two models? I can't decide. . .

First thing I would do is go to the Canon site for either camera. In the upper right hand corner you'll see a button for "choose the right product." Click on it. Then, click on "product comparison." A pop-up window will let you compare up to three cameras for features. This will give you a chance to compare them side by side to see the differences, and more importantly, the similarities.

Next, check out this resource. It takes pictures with each and you can compare them side by side.

The bottom line though, is that with the exception of subtle differences, they are very similar cameras with the exception of their size. The A Series also uses AA batteries, while the SD uses a proprietary lithium ion battery.
