I'm also looking at the same camera. The A75 looks great. And the reviews I have read are nothing but positive.

I have the same camera as calf, no complaints. It seems most of the board either has the A75 or has a Cannon. MY brother has a Cannon and I can safley say you can never go wrong with em.

And if you want to price match do it with staples 150% price matching is key.

I want to get a digital with 10-12x opitical and about a 4+ mega pixel. I know it's going to cost an arm and a leg, but I don't care.
Actually, just an arm. Have a look at the Panasonic FZ-3 and the FZ20...they are nicknamed the super zooms, for a good reason.

Panasonic cameras are amazing with the Leica lens. You'll have the sharpest picture with Leica and great zoom with the FZ series. But overall who ever it was that was orignally looking at digital, Canon is a great way to go. You cant go wrong, especially if anything ever goes wrong Canon is right here in town. I know cause Ive been selling digital cameras for the past 4 years. But Im in a job now that dosent deal with digital cameras so like the latest models like the Canon A95, Im not as farmilar with, but Im sure its very simular to the A75, just more pixels.
Just make sure you get rechargable AA's (Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries) Enjoy the camera!

Thanks for the Staples tip. I went to the grand opening of the new Future shop by my house, and they had the ELPH S410 on for a doorcrasher of $399, reg $499. I went two doors down to Staples and walked out with a price of $359.00. I had the A95 in my hand, but for the price, how can a person go wrong?? I still want to look at the panasonic Z-3, I guess I have 14 days to decide.....Anyone have the S410?? Is it a keeper?

I have a FujiFilm FinePix A330 and couldn't be happier with it.# It has 3.2 mega pixels and 3x Optical Zoom.
How much did you pay for this camera? [/b][/quote]
I think it was just over $300.

EDIT: Plus the price of the memory card.

No need for the attitude. I didn't ask you to look for the website, but thanks anyway. I was going to look eventually.

The F23 looks awesome, and it's priced pretty reasonable.
