Well, I'm confused. The Canon USA and UK sites list totally different information and cameras. The UK site shows SD950, 960 and 970, the USA site just shows 950. But the US 950 appears identical to the UK 960.

Furthermore, CCD sizes are all shown as different - the UK 950 has 2.5", UK 960 1.7" (which equals the US 950), and UK 970 2.3". I find this very hard to believe.

Only the US 950/UK 960 are made of titanium, the others appear to be aluminum.

All these cameras are made in the far east, just badged for different markets.

What on earth are Canon up to?
