[BLUG] recommendations on a good digi cam

[Ben Shewmaker]

Yeah, thanks everyone for their input.  My uncle also has been a powershot
user for the last several years and always recommended them.  Now to decide
which model, how many megapixels, and what extra features I want/need.

I think some of the appeal of having a camera that takes AA's is that if you
need replacement batteries, they are available worldwide.  The proprietary
work fine for most  people most of the time, I'm sure.  But I guess it is a
personal thing and I just like having the option of finding batteries no
matter where I am.  I do have some rechargeable AA's and I'm not a big
photographer so I find that this works fine for me.  And I completely agree
with staying away from Sony and their proprietary formats.  In fact I tend
to try to stay away from most Sony products in general precisely because of
their obsession with closed hardware.  I mean, do they really have to come
up with their own format for every type of media?

But, yeah, thanks for the input everybody.
