Bought a Canon A70, should be here soon!

[cchen]

I read a few reviews of the A70 and its supposed to be a superb camera with many advanced features..... so, I was slightly interested in it
Then I saw that dell had a few promotions, running, the camera would only cost me ~300 or so with a 128mb flashcard
So I decided to buy it!!

It should be here in a few days...

A few reviews for you all..

here and here

canon digicams are top notch. I own the A40, it's great as a starter camera and my gf loves taking it places and snapping away.

I'm holding out on the upgrade. I'd like a couple of manual features in some digital cameras. Those features are on the higher end pro-consumer lines and the body alone cost 1G and the sony i like is about 1G as well.

* aperture and shutter priority
* manual and auto focus
* light meter
* on the fly change to varying MP sizes for a series of shots or indivual shots

I am thinking about getting this camera too, since my Kodak DC5000 is failing on me...

I am deciding between the Canon S230 and the Canon A70...

cchen, keep us posted on the camera when it arrives! I am very interested in hearing how you like it... 🙂

I have a toshiba pdr-t30...it takes superb photos except in low light conditions. I would have preferred a canon tho. I got the toshiba at best buy on boxing day for $400CDN...it was a steal. 3 megapixels, touch screen, and a metal body 🙂

A friend of mine just bought this from Dell for $275 a week ago. It's a sweet digicam.
