Good choice. I could have got Canon for about $100 less if I had waited,
but
I'm happy with my pick.

The 8800 was capable of taking great shots, but it's long lens caused
problems
in low light. Aftre playing with the canon, I think the D70 takes even
better
pics. Now I can start re-investing in lenses.
BTW, I also have the smaller-than-credit card sized Pentax Optio S5I. It's
5Mp
and soooo tiny, but this pic was taken with it. Handheld, macro/portrait
mode.

Not to shabby for one of the smallest cameras made.

Funny, around the time I got mine, an anniversary gift from my wife, she
bought a S4i for herself, claimed she needed it. I told her it was just an
expensive toy, sure enough, she's had the thing for eight odd months and she
hasn't downloaded any of the handful of pictures she's taken with it.
