Canon Digital?

I have never owned a digital camera, and would like to buy a Canon Digital. I only need it for taking photos so I can put on my computer. I am not a professional so to speak and maybe 5, 6 pixels if ok with me. Can someone recommend a model number and what it might cost ? Thanks

There are a couple of ways to go. The small and compact way is to get the SD1000, which has replaced the SD600 that someone else recommended. It's a good camera and it sells for about $210, plus another $20-30 for the required memory card.

The slightly cheaper way to go is the Canon Powershot A560. It costs $170 at B&H and You can use the rest of your budget to buy a decent memory card.

Go here and read an extensive review:

Check the sample images, too.

If you want to save ten bucks, check for the A550:

I see no reason not to go another ten bucks for the A560, though. You gain one stop in ISO, it is a little faster in continuous mode and the LCD is 2.5" instead of 2".

You will need to add a memory card and I suggest the Sandisk or Lexar brand in any speed. You will spend from about $20 for a 512 KB card, which is perfectly adequate, to about $40 for a Sandisk Ultra II, which is as good as you'd ever want for this or many other cameras.

My brother has the A540 and my mother-in-law has the A530 - on my recommendation - and neither one has stopped speaking to me yet. These are the models that were replaced by the A550 and A560.

If you can go over the $200 mark, look into the A570-IS, which looks like a really nice camera. The camera and card will run you about $230-240 at B&H.
