OT: Digital Cameras

[scourge at cogeco.ca (Scourge)]

Only 10,000?? I've logged 7600 shots on my Powershot since Christmas, lol.

I definitely prefer Canon's menu system an button config. But even coming
from the powershot there are a lot of subtle differences on this one that
will take some getting used to. I'm sure I'll be taking an assload of pics
at cincy.
