Does having a wide angle lens really make a difference on a point and shoot digital camera?

Question by Mia G: Does having a wide angle lens really make a difference on a point and shoot digital camera?
I am torn between the Canon SD750 and the Canon SD800 IS. One of the differences is that the SD800 has a wide angle lens and the SD750 doesnt. But for these kinds of point & shoot camera will it really make a difference?

Thanks for any advice!

It depends on the difference between the widest focal lengths and what you plan to use the camera for. The best thing would be to check out both cameras in a store and ask if you could look through the viewfinder (ask the salesperson to accompany you to the front door of the shop if he/she gets suspicious). Explain that you want to get a sense of the difference in focal lengths. It's really the only way to decide since people have individual preferences. Also, If your point and shoot cannot be put on manual setting, there would be less of a need for the wider angle.
