[QUOTE="BigBear, post: 207166, member: 9516"] Well, I pulled the trigger and went with the [URL=http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_a620.asp]Canon A620[/URL]. Haven't had to much time to play around with it just yet. Mainly I've been reading up on taking full advantage of all the manual controls. I did get a chance to take a few sample pictures the other day. Some initial impressions are: The camera feels really solid and has a good grip (something I felt was lacking from the SD550). Not really a pocket camera seeing that it's not as sleek as the SD series. I'm really pleased with the look of the pictures. I'm sure once I master using the manual controls and get a hang for it, it will produce some impressive pictures. The battery life seems exceptional. I've been playing with the camera on and off for the past 3 days. I had the camera on for about an hour yesterday outside taking some pictures and it's still working fine today on the cheap alkaline batteries supplied. Along with the camera I picked up a 1gig SD card from Corsair (on sale at Fry's) and some rechargable AA's. Might have to pick up a small camera case as well. Mind you, I'm no professional photographer or amateur by any means but here are few sample pics.
