I just have a Cannon Elph Film type Camera . I am thinking about getting a Cannon Digital.

Holy sh?t, a film point and shoot? WHY MAN WHY? I can easily understand film SLR, but it's time for an upgrade!

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 8Mpixels with a 12X zoom. And more portable is my Canon A590 IS, also 8Mpixels.

Lets just say that the pic quality of my Lumix is better than the A590. But in luggage, the A590 take less space!

I prefer brick and mortar stores, but the price difference generally ends up being big enough that I can't justify it.

I bought my 580EX II at a Hunts Camera, and they discounted it for me, but I still paid $40 more than Amazon...that's with a massive discount. Before the discount it was $110 more than Amazon.

Some of the lenses at Hunts cost >$150 more than Amazon.

Looks like I'm the only one who said 35mm SLR, although I am surprised someone else said 35mm compact even I cant say thats my No.1 system although high end 35mm compacts are great because the frame size means you can get DSLR quality from a tiny little camera, although many film compacts negate this advantage because of Crappy Zooms, films or processing.
