Canon A70 vs Canon S230

I'd get the S230 simply cause the A70 looks goofy, and the S230 is very nice and small....

I always thought the S series of canons looked like cameras made for woman.

Just my 2cents😀

either go small cam that you'll have whenever you need it, or go with a really high quality big camera😛 middle size camera with eh quality gets left behind and never used.

Bwahahaha I must be one of those photographer geeks, I take my Canon G3 with me EVERYWHERE, and its a big mofo compared to these rotfl. 😀

g3 is a little bit different eh? its a lot more expensive. its certainly not an a70

I have a G3 and a G2 and they are awesome camera's and definately more expensive then the A70.

thats my point, its in a completely different class of camera where quality justifies size.
 
I love my A70, and for the price, it's got more features than any camera in it's range. I don't know much about the S230 though, all I know is how much I love my A70 🙂
 
Screw the S230...its oldskool...get the SD100 instead!!! Smaller than the S230, and longer battery life due to use of SD memory instead of compactflash. Otherwise, specs are pretty much the same between those two...
