Pros + Sharpness and colour at the upper AVCHD limit
+ Many manual controls
+ 1080p50
 
Cons - setting focus manually is a little complicated
- low resolution display
 
Conclusion Costing 200 Euro less, the SD600 lacks a lot compared to the SD707 (viewfinder, lens ring, accessory shoe, mic and headphone jacks).Also the display is smaller and setting the focus manually is harder without a lens ring.But still, it is an interesting camera for those filming in automatic mode.
