Comments:

 

I want to get the A70 (I don't need huge pictures). A lotta lotta people recomend the A-line from Canon. Go for it

But what the hell is that second picture of?

 

Yes. Buy it. I love mine. It is absolutely fantastic.

 

$$$$?

 

Usually around $400

 

I've found it as low at $318, new - from an online retailer.

or new egg has it for about $350, or my buddy works at bestbuy and I can get it for $352

Of course then i'd need to buy a new memory card for it - it only comes with a 16mb card - thats like 6 pictures or something

 

I don't know, I like to buy locally so if something happens I can go complain to them.

 

My g/f has an A70...great camera

 

For that price, I'd rather get an S model..
