DSLR vs. Point and Shoot

[jennielynn1970]

If you're looking for a cheap but good camera with limited options:
Canon PowerShot A560

Want a bit more?
Canon PowerShot A630

About as close to a SLR you can get without spending the money is the S-IS series...
When I'm not using my SLR I use my Canon PowerShot S2 IS
Canon PowerShot S3 IS
Canon PowerShot S5 IS

Everyone was surprised that I wasn't using a DSLR when I was posting pictures from my S2 IS. However, the PowerShot A-series are a bit more user friendly.

I would stick with Canon, but that's my own personal preference.

Those black ones, the Powershot S2-5's, are they digital??? I thought most of the black kinds of cams were regular film, and the other silvery ones were digitals. I know this sounds silly, but that's how they USED to be anyway, lol.
