Cameras

So I've decided I would like to get a new digital camera with some of my pending tax refund.  I've been researching a bunch of them, and it seems the more time I spend researching them, the more confused and indecisive I become.  When I read the reviews and come across some that say things like, "This camera is so difficult, and doesn't take

Wait, where does it say that it takes AA batteries? On the Amazon site it says it comes with "Lithium-ion Battery Pack NB-5L, Battery Charger CB-2LX."

I've looked at reviews all over the place, and it seems that generally people like it, and the main problem is the on/off button, which is a little ridiculous.

Oh, and thanks for the description of the memory cards. I was wondering if MMC was an older version or just something I didn't know about. I found an SDHC 4GB card on Amazon for $10, so I'll probably go with that.

Whew, ok. I do NOT want the AA battery thing again. I hate having to carry those around with me, and change them every 20-30 pictures in my super-old camera. I think ahead pretty well, so I can charge the battery when I know I'll be going somewhere that I'll be taking a lot of pictures, and according to the reviews, it seems to last a couple hundred pictures, which will be more than what I need.

Thanks for the help, Lisa! I really appreciate it! I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy it.

I like Canons. My HD video camera is a canon and I love it. The end.

I bought my camera based on consumer reports reviews too. I was able to get it much cheaper online than the price consumer reports listed, too. Beach Camera online has some great prices.
