*sigh* I can dream, can't I?

A few more questions:

It takes 4 AA batteries, right? I have two rechargables and a 15-minute recharger. Those will work, won't they? That'll save a little money, lol.

Should I invest in a card reader? Any other accessories I should get?

I actually think I like the S2 IS better. So you suggest I buy a recharger and two sets of rechargables. What size memory card is ideal?

Yes, the S2 IS is better - it's more professional IMO.
You will need a 4 pack of rechargables. I would never mix brands of batteries - use 4 of the same brand at once. I've been told it's not good for your camera to use different batteries at the same time.

I have a 256MB card and it works fine for me (and everyone here knows how picture crazy I am.) I think it was around $30.

There really is no use for a card reader unless something happens with the USB option on your camera. I highly suggest purchasing a nice camera case - you can store memory cards, an extra set of batteries, or whatever you want. I almost always keep and extra se of batteries with me.

The camera comes with a neckstrap & a lens cap so you won't need to purchase those.


Hope this has helped a bit.

I've read a few customer reviews and some people said they didn't like the S2 IS. They said the picture quality was poor and the macro mode was bad. They though Canon could do better. Do you use macro, Kay?

[Kfamr]

Yes - I use macro quite often. I've never had a problem with my quality of photos.
