Thanks guys this is really helping I feel like I may be able to talk the 'lingo' when I go to the store, I really appreciate it

One of the hottest selling cameras of 03-04, I don't regret a dime of the $ I spent

I LOVE mine Althom told me which one to buy I've had it for about a year now and I've NEVER had any kind of issue with it.


Canon PowerShot A60

I would also recommend you buy from B&H. You'll probably get a better deal. Here's the site:
