:thumbsup: Love my A95.

Nikon also makes some great point & shoot cameras. Canon's require more finesse (which I do not have) IMO

EDIT
When I bought my A95, NewEgg had it with a free Kingston 256MB CF card. I got it for just under $300 shipped 2nd day

Now is the time to order a camera from Dell. They have 25%, 20%, and 15% off certain cameras, along with stackable coupons for another $35? I believe.

Get canon, in my opinion and from my experience canon rocks. I've got an older A85 4MP and for what I do it is great. Could use a bit more optical zoom (only has 3x) but its ok. The newer A520 which replaced the A85 has a 4x optical zoom.
