While a decent camera, I wouldn't recommend the A series to meet his needs.
-requires AA batteries, he's looking for rechargeable
-twice as heavy
-half the LCD
-manual focus/aperture/shutter options (read: buttons)
-larger form factor
-the IS versions tend to be more expensive than SD series

<--- would also recommend against the a-series. got mom one... big mistake compared to what else was out there.

So it's the SD870IS. Does anyone know of any smokin' deals. I don't want to buy locally and have to pay sales tax. Buydig.com has the best price so far at 255

Amazon is $255 with free shipping. Clicky
When you get a memory card, get this type. I got one for my wife when I bought her the SD600 and they're really freaking convenient.

Buydig has free shipping too and Amazon's free shipping can lick my balls. I would rather pay the 5 bucks and have it in my mitts within a few days.

I get most amazon free shipping in 3-4. :dunno:
Never heard of Buydig but that doesn't mean anything.

Good tip on the SD card. I'll get that. I've only ever ordered books from Amazon maybe the literati are lazy fucks :dunno:

Ironically, I've never ordered a book from amazon because I only reads t3h internets!
They have 2/4/8 gb versions so which you gets depends on your budget. I'm a bit paranoid about losing all my photos (although it's never happened) so I prefer to spread things out a bit. (2x2 vs 4x1) Note that memory cards have come a long way in the last few years and that's a completely irrational fear.
edit: I just went back and looked, I've had 104 orders from amazon over the last 10 years. A lot are gifts but a lot are also multiple items per order. :oops:
