Nikon 3700 or Canon A75

i think that the canon is a better product... and that your pricing is not
accurate...
the nikon 3700 is at bhphotovideo for $399.95 less $100 rebate for a final
cost of $299.95.
the canon a75 is at bhphotovideo for $219.95 and not rebate nonsense.
so, even after the rebate, the nikon is over 35% more costly than the canon.
the a75 uses regular 'aa' alkaline batteries so you will not be far from a
fresh set if in a pinch. of course you can also use lithium or nimh type
batteries in it (comes with alkaline). the canon has a much better user
interface with menus that are more intuitive. the autofocus assist on the
canon is superior. the canon comes with better software. the canon comes
with a 32mb compact flash card and compact flash cards are relatively cheap
to the secure digital cards that the nikon uses (despite that fact that sd
cards have recently dropped in price). the nikon comes with a 16mb secure
digital memory card. 256mb sd/cf are about $65/45 respectively. the nikon
is smaller, but the canon feels better in your hand because of its grip.
read the reviews at http://www.steves-digicams.com/ and decide for yourself,
but i say go with the canon.

Hello, I am choosing a 3mp camera and these two are being considered.
Nikon has a $100 mail-in rebated which dropped the 3700 to below the
A75 price. Seems to me the 3700 is a slightly superior camera than
A75, with a smaller body and the use of the lithium ion battery. What
do you guys think?

Thanks in advance.

James
