Pros: Very good photo quality, lots of manual/creative control, inexpensive
Cons: Some chromatic aberration (purple fringing)

Pros: Loads of features, easy to use, affordable and sturdy
Cons: none really!

Pros: 3 MegaPixel, 3x optical zoom, good price, solid feel, FUNC button
Cons: size?, not as solid feeling as S and G lines.

Although I've concentrated my attention on ultra-portable and mid- to high-end subcompact digital cameras, I've tried to pay attention to the more budget conscious digital camera segment. When a high school buddy of mine asks me to go shopping with him...

Pros: Good entry-level digicam. Fair value. Uses regular AA batteries.
Cons: Not very good in automatic mode. Not really for beginners.

Cons: sucks up battery powers quickly, lots of red eye in pics, flash too strong

Pros: Wide range of control from full manual to full auto, AA batteries,easy to use.
Cons: Mirrored LCD bezel is annoying and scratches easily

After much on line research and trying out many in-store demo units in this price and pixel range, I chose the A-70. Its size is just right-bigger than the Canon Digital Elph and smaller than a lot of others, it's very comfortable to hold and has ...

Pros: Easy to use, nice crisp shots, good color, lots of advanced features.
