Which one should you choose?
Choose Canon PowerShot S300 DIGITAL ELPH if you want the early 2 MP DIGITAL ELPH and its CompactFlash/NB-1L setup.
Choose Canon PowerShot D10 if a rugged-looking 12.1 MP body with SDHC and NB-6L is easier to use now.
This is an early-pocket-camera versus later-all-weather-style setup decision, not a close megapixel contest.
