I might just be computer blind (from reading specs too long) but can anyone outline the differences between the model numbering in the same series of canon powershot cameras?
IE: powershot a70 and a75 and A80 vs A85. I can't figure out the differences...did the color change or something?!?!?!?!...they look identicle
They have mostly very subtle differences. A80 has slightly shorter focal length (35-105mm vs 38-114mm) and display (1.5in variable position vs 1.8in fixed) than A85. A70 and A75 have a similar difference in displays. You can check out the specs at Canon:

<A HREF="http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelTechSpecsAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=9449" target="_new">A80</A> vs <A HREF="http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelTechSpecsAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=10462" target="_new">A85</A>
The pages are arranged similarly, so you can just scroll and compare them easily, but the differences between cameras are minor, as you've already guessed.
