Ultra Compact
My Daughter is going to Europe this summer and is interested in a very small
camera to take along. The Canon SD600 looks really good and I am hoping to get some opinions or suggestions on other choices. Thanks |

They use AA batteries, might be easier to get while traveling, easier than dealing with different power supplies and the SD series plug in battery chargers best performance will be with rechargable AAs, NiMh, but regular batteries can work. can't take pictures on a dead battery they are a bit larger in size, but still small A570 IS looks good http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...ode lid=14905 Send her off with a few extra (big) memory cards, too :-) --- Bob Anderson*Bitwisebob Eugene Oregon |

Ultra Compact
I have an SD600 I carry with me everywhere. The advantage of this camera is
it's very small and easy to carry, but delivers good results. If on a trip, I always carry an extra fully charged battery and extra 1GB memory card since the smaller camera will mean a smaller battery and if you have a spare, you'll be fine; if not, batteries tend to die on you at the worst possible time. As long as you have the back-ups, you're good to go...enjoy "bitwisebob" wrote in message ...

Thanks I got a Ricoh R5: http://www.digicamreview.co.uk/ricoh..._r5_review.htm which has a 28 - 200mm lens, CCD-shift image stabilisation, weighs about 170g and is about an inch thick. Nice pictures in good light. Bigger zoom range and IS which the Canon lacks. David |
