obligatory ..

damn i just bought a digital camera.

nah. that A95 looks nice. I'm sure their A series will continue their legacy among users on this forums and around the world.

has Canon yet to make a mistake on the digital camera front?

Yeah, what's up with getting rid on the rotating LCD on the A85? I have the A80, and love the rotating LCD. But the A95 looks good.

I too would take the A95 over the A85,too bad I really like my Olympus C 770 camera.

Canon have a very good record in the digital camera field, they are also one of the main manufacturers that have a good range of cameras that can use AA batteries when property lithium type batteries are becoming more and more common nowadays.

Aren't there reports that there is a "fatal" error that can occur with some Canon digicams? Apparently, when that error shows up, the camera is toast. I'll google and see what I can find.

Found it: Google Resuls for Deadly E18 error

I was actually looking at an A80. I found them online for just about $225 shipped - I didn't catch the price on the A95 (I really like the swivel LCD). What is the largest size print that anyone here has made using a 4.0 megapixel camera (any brand)? How was the quality? Opinions seem to differ greatly on this and if I'm picking something up off the Internet I'd like to be sure...

Thanks,

Doug

I've tried three times to "join" FatCash or whatever to get the additional 4% rebate and it has yet to send me a password. Any ideas?
