Canon SD700 R.I.P.

I agree with Ben. The Best Buy guy's advice is solid. If you liked that camera, getting the next one is a fine idea. I believe the current model, announced at PMA this year, is the SD850 IS.

On the other hand, this is also an opportunity to consider something else. The memory card will work with most digital cameras, except those made by Olympus, Sony, and Fuji. It's worth a look around to see if there's something else thhat might work better for you. Was there anything that the SD700 IS wasn't doing well for you? Are you interested in a camera that offers more manual control?

And I can't help but mentioning, it. If you're going to be doing a lot of drinking with your camera, maybe you should look into the Olympus Stylus 770 SW. It's waterproof to 30 feet deep, and you can drop it five feet onto concrete. It may be the perfect drinking camera

Ha good one. Actually thats the last time I plan on getting loaded and carrying a camera around in my pocket. My last camera was a Stylus 4.0, and although good and durable, the Canon is far superior in picture quality. As far as wanting more manual controls, I really have no idea? The SD700 was the nicest camera I have ever owned, so maybe I don't know what I am missing?
