Hey Robyn,

I don't know what the price range is for the Canon, but I got my husband a Konica Minolta Digicam Z2 for christmas and he loves it. Canons are great cameras too. The Z2 is real compact and looks really neat and according to my husband, "does things I didn't know a camera could do" - and that's saying a lot, considering we have a collection of over 300 camera from the 1800's to the present.

Just thought I'd pass that along, in case you're still shopping around.

Give Tigger and Emma a kiss for me! Happy New Year!
