Need help finding the PERFECT camera. . .

[RobiLee]

This is the camera I currently have: Canon S2 IS. I LOVE it. It's wonderful, and worth every penny! It's more than you wanted to spend, but I don't think I paid that much. I think I paid more around $375, after rebates and I also got it on a sale day at Office Depot

Wow, I'm jealous! I have had my eye on that camera for quite awhile now and I have never seen that kind of price on it. The lowest I've seen is around $460 something and I haven't come across any rebates for it either. I hope I come across that deal sometime soon.

Beth, I really think the Canon A610 and 620 sound like pretty awesome cameras. I think the 610 is even priced under $300. Have you looked at it yet. I'm pretty sure it got great reviews at that website too. It even has a 2 in. flip out and twist monitor and I love that feature. If I wasn't wanting something with a higher zoom that is probably what I would be getting. Good luck in your search for a new camera.

that is mine. I adore it. It's expensive, but I've never regretted buying it. I paid 1500cnd with taxes (I think 1200 us) but I'm sure it's cheaper now...still pricey I imagen....It's a nice camera

I also have the A95. It's a nice camera too, but the rebel is so much nicer that it doesn't seem as great to me. It's a good camera for the price etc though

What's even better - Nova chewed up my A80 and I gave it to my dad once I got the new camera. My dad took it in a few weeks ago and traded it for the S2 IS, and only had to pay a $25 difference, even though the camera was partially damaged!

I am also getting my mom's Canon 20D once she buys the 30D. It's a *really* nice camera, and I looove it, but the S2 is still very good quality. The 20D is pretty big so having a smaller camera is nice for when I just want to take it over to my friend's house or something and still get good quality pics.
