Help: Digital Camera!!

[kinji5]

Hello,

I need to get a digital camera... i am still in the age where we use rolls of film.

I have a APS canon 390z .. i like it. but i also want a digital one to play with.

which would you guess suggest to get.... i dont' think i want to spend over 300... around 200 is ok...

any suggestions would be great!

thanks in advance :)

You can probably pick up a Canon A40 for that price. IMO, best bang for the buck.

I will be getting my first digital camera soon and I plan to get the Canon A40. It will allow you to do auto photos as well as manual settings. Looks like a great camera.

Yep, the A40 is the camera to beat in that price class...

However, Canon has recently released some new models (G3, S45, etc.)... A replacement for the A40 on the horizon??

What about the S200? it looks sleek. from what i read for specifications its features are very similar. s200 is is much smaller.

anyone know about how much the battery life of the two compare? s200 vs a40?
