So,
I have an a720IS i got last year, it works nice enough and produces some decent images. however I don't like the length of time it takes the flash to cycle. (not to mention that the boss HATES the cycle time)
anyways..
Anyone have any comments on the new a series that were brought out and their flash cycle times? I know that the ones i am looking at (a1000 and a2000) only have 2 batteries.. There is also currently a sale on a650is at bestbuy here in Canada..

my only real requirements is that the cam takes a good image and has a decent flash cycle time
the ability of 6x zoom is a good idea. but not completely necessary as we are use the cam for family shots and toddlers

Any of the Powershots that use 2 AA's will have slow recycle times! The A650IS is 4 AA's ,so, it should cycle faster. How about the new G10?

Same crap different case is all. It's a bit smaller and looks prettier though.
