Wife wants to upgrade from my 3 yr old HP R707 compact digital camera.
This camera works fine...although the original battery doesn't seem to hold
its charge as long anymore while sitting *on the shelf.
Costco just happens to have a super price $270.00 CDN
for its popular Canon A650 IS *compact.
I also see the Nikon D40 on sale here with lens at just under $500.00.
I can't justify the higher end SLRs...especially when they seem be be

usage these days is more snapshot than trying to be artistic...although I do
like to do justice to scenery.

Not quite a "purse" camera with it's cube shape. but easy to hole and
