Canon A70

Who here has one? I know at least a few people do...

Now that I have a more serious camera, I have some serious reading to do!! My old camera (Fuji MX-1200) really had no features, so it was just point and shoot... Now with some actual control of the settings, I'll be lost for a while!!

First up... A bigger flash card...

Cool

BB i have this one, and really do like it. As you might remember had some trouble in the start with the flip switch on the back. But canon was great, and helped out a great deal. I went up to a 256 flash card, and i have it set to the highest rez, and can get about 120 pics. You are correct the amount of features are amazing. The one sweet thing, if you can change the themes and sounds on it from your desktop. One thing, and this is sorta a must have, get rechargable batteries, this thing goes thru them. But depends if you use the screen, and edit your pics on the camera. pop the battiers in the charger, and you are reading in about 40 minutes, for round 2. there is an adapter for the camera, but the price, when i looked was double of the charger and batteries from somewhere else. I know i am very happy with it, and you will be too.

A40 here, some of the features are similar if you need help on a particular thing... Otherwise, the book is good.

If you don't already have them, go to Thompson-Distributing and get a MAHA Smart Charger and two sets (eight) MAHA PowerEx NimH batteries. I got the charger, two sets of batteries and four free plastic battery holders for $33 shipped. These things rock! I never have to worry about batteries and I use flash and the LCD without worries (I think I used the viewfinder once right after I bought the cam).

This is Woody here Smile

,......I bought Amy one for her B-day last year. Well,....it was MY old one that I gave to her, and I ended up keeping the Nikon 4300 that I bought off Anandtech. I've grown to really LOVE the color and res. of the A70 while I was using it. Its on par with many of the mid-level 4 and 7 megapixel digicams, IMO.

Lemme know if ya need any help on the tips and functions of the cam,...I'll be glad to help Cool
