[pct-l] Cameras

[RJ Lewis]

I got myself a Canon Powershot A-550 last summer, to take the place of a 
much loved analog Canon. Weight, with lithium batteries and a 2 meg 
card, 5.5 oz. It has alot of nice features, without being super 
expensive, if you were to accidentally drop it into a stream or 
something. I love the pics it takes, and I do alot of photography work. 
Fits nicely into a hipbelt pocket on backpacks too- at least it does on 
my Gregory Jade 50. (those pockets are pretty small) This camera will 
fit into nearly any thru- hiker budget, and takes pretty nice pics for 
the money. I haven't been disappointed.

Peace
