I have an Canon A70. It was worth every penny. Outstanding value for the price ($300)

Good luck with yours.

Cannon Digital Elph. Don't remember which one I have ... works great.

You can actually get decent 8x10" with a good 2MP camera provided you don't need to crop the image. If all you're going to do are 4x6" and Web images, no need to waste $ on anything more.
DON'T FORGET TO PURCHASE A TRIPOD! A must have when the shutter speed is not fast.

TY bud. It came with:

256MB memory card
Memory card reader
tripod
Rechargable batteries
battery charger
cleaning kit

Plus what ever came with it normally so I think I got a pretty good deal. The memory card alone is usually pretty expensive.

Just an update....I got the A60 and LOVE IT. The tripod is a little smaller than I thaught but it takes GREAT PICS and has awsome features. It's got a cool "stitch" feature that lets you take a panorama of up to 360 degrees and than puts them all together via software:

Glad you like it; when you figure out some of those manual mode features, be sure to teach me too.

Good choice! Have the Canon A70 here.

When I found 2 friends had the same camera and they loved it, I was convinced. Turns out 2 others at work had it too.

Here's some with full auto mode... not bad for snow shots.

I did reduce the resolution by half for bandwidth

Get at least a 128MB expansion card. The standard 16MB is just too small.

Another nice feature is all the manual modes. Was dinking around and dad ( one of the purists that developed his own film when Kodachrome was still considered 'new' technology) showed me how to muck with the Aperture and Time settings to be able to take pics without flash. It really points out one of the benefits of digital by being able to test the settings and see what you're getting.. then trying correct settings..lol

Have fun!!!
