If I have to choose between Nikon P4 and Canon SD700 IS, which should I choose and for what reason ?

I heard about SD700 having this great feature of getting stable images even during motion.
I like to have such a feature in my camera.

Hi Deva,

Both of these cameras feature optical image stabilization, which is indeed a great help when you're shooting without a tripod, especially at longer zoom. I personally prefer the SD700's IS system to Nikon's VR system, but they're both quite effective.

The difference between the two cameras is in the small details. Though the Nikon captures more megapixels (8 to the Canon's 6), this won't be a huge benefit to you unless you're planning to make huge prints. Both cameras have a 2.5" LCD, but the Canon's is higher resolution. The Canon has a slightly longer zoom (140mm to the Nikon's 126mm). The Canon's macro focus range is half that of the Nikon, which is a big improvement if you want to get in close. Both weigh about the same size, but the Canon is slightly smaller.

User opinion is roughly the same on both cameras. My personal preference is for the Canon due to its superior overall image quality and the small things listed above. Hope this helps!
