[pct-l] PCT photography: Powershot A70 vs Stylus 300

[robert.riess at cox.net (Robert E. Riess)]

I bought a Canon Powershot A95 ($283 at NiceElectronics.com)  I specifically 
wanted AA batteries vice expensive/unavailable proprietary batteries, 
compactflash memory vice expensive/unavailable proprietary memory, and 5 
Mpixels.  The camera works wonderfully well.  It is very intuitive.  You can 
snap a few shots and show them on your TV within a few seconds.  You can 
download quickly and easily once you have installed the software.  You can 
point and shoot or get creative with 14 different modes.  I cannot complain 
about anything. It weighs 8.3 oz w/o batteries. I also have owned an Olympus 
Stylus film camera for years.  I like it but it has been overtaken by 
technology.  I recommend this camera without reservation.

I had 8x10 and 5x7 prints made at Shutterfly.com.  Excellent.  Easy upload, 
instant order acknowledgement, next day completion and shipping 
notification.  Superior quality. I also recommend Shutterfly without 
reservation.
