Canon Powershot A-85

Got the camera yesterday. AJ had brought it along. I'd gone to his house after work yesterday. I'm as pleased as a 6-year-old who has got a new toy :) The device is a 4 MP digital camera, with infinitely more number of settings than my old Kodak DX3215. It's going to take me ages to learn all those settings and the situations in which to use them, but it will be fun. I also got a 256 MB CF card, so it can comfortably store enough videos and photos. Yes - it can take videos too! Not to mention photo-stich, burst mode, night mode and what not that I haven't figured out yet. The whole package is an awesome deal - $250 for the camera, $25 for the 256 MB CF card, and $5 for a camera case. Add some $20 for S&H, and the total comes to $300. Sweet!
