No, I meant the Canon that you already have.

I think HoosierDaddy has an S5IS, and I'm guessing it will be up for sale again if/when he gets an SLR.

 

LOL sorry. I thought he had that one.

Yeah, the xti has it but I want something for me. Yeah, I'm greedy like that

 

Get a D40, you'll love it.

No because then Matt will take it. I'm trying to avoid that. If I get a P&S I'll hear "I don't wanna shoot with that pos" and that's fine by me. Actually with the Canon he'll probably want to use it since it's a high class P&S.

I will have to bookmark that one though. Helluva lot cheaper than what I paid for the xti. Hell the xti's are cheaper than what I paid for it

 

Ok, here's one that's not a DSLR. Here's another one: Nikon announces Coolpix P80 Superzoom: Digital Photography Review

10 megapixel, VR, 27mm-486mm equivalent zoom! $399, coming soon.

 

 

Just in time for the rebate check
