I bought Olympus D-510 but decided not to keep it and upgrade to something better. I can get C-2040 for $349 shipped, Canon for $330 shipped (Office Max PM and coupon) and A20 for $309 shipped. Which one should I go for? I prefer keeping my AA charger with AA batteries, so I don't consider S110 too much, but if you can convince me otherwise... :) I read many reviews on many websites and they all say that they are very good (duh!), but I was wondering if anyone here has a particular liking of any of these. Also, if you have some other camera I should consider around $350, LMK.

The size of the Canon S110 is what appeals to me. It takes good quality pictures as well, not as good as the Canon A20 or Olympus C-2040, but it's still VERY good...and it looks cool. Definitely something your friends would enjoy.

I loved having one just fit in my pocket unnoticeable.

If you want something small, get the Cannon S110. Otherwise, get the Olympus

I've got the A20 and I love it. Great pictures and enough features for anyone. Also, if you get more into photography you can add wider angle/telphoto lenses to the front (there are threads for screwing them on). It does eat batteries, but if you have a couple sets of rechargeables you're all set.

i have an s110 and i have to say i LOVE it.

it's so tiny. plus i love the pictures it takes. and even the film clips come out great (with sound i might add).

i dunno about the other ones tho so i can't compare but i am definitely happy with the s110.

(and really mad that u only have to pay 330 to get it!!! :( )

I have the 2040 and I really like it. I don't have any experience with the canon's, but all the manual control features make the 2040 an amateur photographers dream come true.
