I purchased a digital camera when they first hit the market. What this now equates to is essentially an archaic device that lacks the features and functions I really need to create high quality photographs. After researching everything on the market I knew I wanted a Cannon camera. The one I ultimately went with was the Canon PowerShot A710 IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom. For the most part I am very happy with this camera. The A710 takes great photos, is easy to use, figure out, and connect to your computer, has all the features a non-professional photog could want has the megapixels to let you enlarge your photos to at least 8×10 and is reasonably priced. Battery life for me has be very impressive… about 300-400 pictures so far on my single set of AA 2800mah NIHM batteries from Walmart. I decided to use the camera until they die… they still haven’t yet! I keep getting the low-battery warning, but they just never quit. I doubt you can do better in this price range than this camera.
