Invest in a rechargeable battery thing. Using regular aa battery, you'll have to change them fequently. I don't use my digital camera much but I have to get new batteries about every other month. I finally bought some rechargables.

 

Do your comparison shopping at
Adorama or B & H . If you want to buy from either of them as well, that's great. They are top notch, very reputable companies. Their return policies are great, as are their websites. Prices are the best out there (you can find stuff cheaper, but I'd be very suspect of the seller). I've spent thousands and thousands of dollars between the both of them over the years and can't recommend them enough...

 

Thank god, some else here who knows what an F/stop is...

 

F/stop? Does my Minolta Dimage 7i have that?

I wish canon made a SD500... perhaps its on the way? Don't know how much longer I can hold out... Dimage x50 is calling my name... perfect for the pocket and quick snapshots.

 

LMAO



Do you mean an S500? click here....

 

That's the old and busted model... just like the s300, etc...

Have you seen the new SD200 & SD300? They use the new DIGIC II stuff... pretty hot little cameras.
