Hi, I'm looking to get the digital camera soon. I have a limit budget, around $350. I did lots of research on net and found 2 models that I like within my budget, Canon PowerShot A80 and Minolta DiMAGE Z1. I still can't decided which one is better. Anyone have any suggestion/advice?

Thank you,

Scroll up. The pic of my dog was taken with my new A80. Canon's rock!

That's cool... Circuit City just have Canon A70 and A80 on sale at my local store. And I got a coupon buying products in store over $200 in 1 purchase get Free gift card worth 10% of the total price. So, the final price for A70 will be around $247 and $337 for A80. I think it's a really good price.... but when I look in the A80 spec it does not support 640x480 movie mode like A70 does. I'm wondering why Canon downgrade this feature. If I really need only 3.2MP, do you think it worth buying Canon A80 or should I stick with the A70? Keep in mind that I have limited budget. With $100 price difference I could buy 256MB memory card, 2300MAh batteries with charger, and camera bag if I buy Canon A70. Or should I go with Canon A80 because I will probably need those 4MP and some extra feature in A80 in the future anyway and then save money to buy the 256MB or 512MB card in the future? What do you guys think?

Thanks,

When ya'll take shots with a Digital Elph, what setting do you use?

For daylight, and for night time.

Iso speeds, white balance, what are good with what type of photos and stuff?
