    I have an a series camera and it takes professional shots in great lighting. In low lighting, when the camera depends on the flash -the pictures are still high quality. great price- camera is a little bulky due to the 4 optical zoom.

    I am thinking to buy one of these. Walmart sells it at $150. My only concern is if it takes SDHC.

    Never mind, just found out it does take SDHC.

    you can run CHDK firmware on this camera(and a lot of the Cannon PowerShot models) to give you a lot more features, like RAW picture storage(rather than just JPEG), change the video compression rate, get a live histogram as you're setting up your picture, use faster shutter times, take time-lapse movies, have an on-camera calender, and play games. You can also write your own scripts for it in a BASIC type language, to do things like take a picture when the camera sees movement, or automatically capture pictures of lightning.

    here's a page that describes CHDK: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK_in_Brief

    and here's the link to download it: http://bensbargains.net
    just look for your camera model, download it, and copy it onto your SD card. Instructions for booting off of this firmware are on the readme included in the download.

    Seems like the best low price to date from a BBB rated:satisfactory company. Hard to beat an a590 for 99 bucks, manual setting capability, lots of great reviews, a viewfinder for sunny days and can use NiMH batts. Plus using the chdk app for Canons is like extra free candy.

    I will probably get one from Abe's, if I don't see another price drop this week.

    I have the 570IS, the immediate predecessor. Both are terrific cameras, this is the best camera deal on the Internet.
