I bought the Canon A60 last year & have not regreted it. Very small design, but feels good in
my hand & fits nicely in my shirt pocket. Took a closeup of my cat & you can count the hairs
in the picture. Lots of manual control for those special situations when 'auto' just will not do.
The ony thing Canon didn't do right is box the camera with standard allkaline batteries. These
will go dead in 2 hrs or less. Buy 4 Ni-MH rechargables & the charger, 1800ah or better.
I bought 4 more for spares so I'm never short. When't on a 2 wk trip & only had to change them
once & took about 300 pictures. Bought it from Amazon, no sales tax or shipping. If you don't
like it, send it back & get another model or brand.
Printouts are great. I use IFX, Ghostscript, TurboPrint, & a HP932C printer. Printing to PS makes a big difference vs TurboPrint alone. PS prints in 24 bit color & will show up when doing 10 x 8 printouts.
