- Nikon D40 is ranked slightly higher, only $533, but it’s Nikon and one must decide early Nikon OR Canon lenses.
- S60 - currently have, S70-S80 $800-$900

- Best Cameras by type
- Not considering: no viewfinder (need to save battery), basic-only options (need to get advanced with photography)
- NOTE: need to go to store to test out Manual settings for SD700/SD800/SD900 (no P/AV/T)
- NOTE: see if G7 will fit in pocket comfortably

- Brian likes this one the best
...Perhaps I really don’t need the Rebel XTi after this?! - 12x zoom, 6MP, image stabilization, 4xAA batteries, SD, Flip-out screen, NO underwater case, 1gb/ulimit video, adv modes, 640 ZOOM video, Video/Photo buttons!
- The S3 IS presents a worthy alternative for consumer digicam users considering an upgrade to a consumer dSLR. While its image quality, responsiveness and viewfinder quality are not quite up to dSLR standards, the S3’s versatility, especially its movie mode and articulating LCD viewfinder, is unmatched by any dSLR available today.
- no underwater case, but need zoom more often than underwater photos? and flip-out self potrait
- not pocket sized, but neither is Rebel. some noise at high ISO
10MP
- G7 :: Review Conclusions- $460 Beach Camera
- 6x zoom, 10MP, NB2L-H batteries, SD, some lenses?, adv features, 1024 video, good macro
- Underwater case $170
- pocketable? need to test
- bad: off center viewfinder, screen fingerprints, some noise at high ISO, no longer flip-out
