What do you guys think of the 250 + tax deal for a canon sd100 w/ extra (crappy?) battery + 128 megs SD?

how does this camera compare to the a70?

anyone have one of them and have any thoughts?

as always
thanks ATOT!

I would say it's a good deal. sd100 is more like an S400, compact design. An A70 is slightly bigger.

the SD100 is a great camera, and that is a very good deal. I would pick one up, but I already have a S230. Almost the same camera, just different memory.

i noticed the camera is limited to 3 minutes video irregardless of space; any ideas why?
hows sound quality on the video mode?

It's because of internal cache or something. It's that way in most low end cameras.

It sounds like a great deal if you want a point and shoot camera.

cant really compare the a70 & sd100, personally, Id hold off until you can get a good deal on the a70/80.

Canon A70 vs SD100

I do prefer the A70's use of CF media.

ur always on here on u 🙂 or do u have a sixth sense that tells u when your your name is being uttered on ATOT?

hmm cf because its cheaper/faster/easier to find?

looks like comparing the sd100 to a70 is a bad comparison overall; different intended consumer targets.

I have an a-70 and love it.

Here are some PICS

I know nothing about the SD100 other than $250 is a Hot Deal. I like the A70 because it accepts regular AA's (use rechargeable NiMH's), has both manual and automatic controls, records great audio and video, uses CF media which is cheap, widely used and easy to get. I also like it's size.

I was thinking of getting an A70 or A80, but I would like something with a little more zoom. Anyone have a Minolta DiMAGE Z1 or the FUJI FinePixS3000 or S5000?

 

[Renob]

Nice pics, Renob!

I just found out I am getting a Canon A70 for Christmas! 😀

I wanted the A60 but since we were picking up a Canon i960 printer and they had $50 off with the purchase of the A70 and not the A60 it made it too good of a deal. 🙂
